Saskatchewan announced a new immigration program - Aptechvisa

The Saskatchewan, Hard-to-Fill Skills Pilot Program was established to meet the demands of Saskatchewan's labour market in important areas.

A new immigration pilot program was announced by Saskatchewan on November 25.

As part of the Hard-to-Fill Skills Pilot, Saskatchewan employers will have the ability to recruit overseas talent for certain in-demand occupations. This will include entry-level positions that may require on-the-job training. Manufacturing, agriculture, ag-tech, construction, hospitality, and retail are among the industries with the highest labor demand in Saskatchewan.

In a press statement, Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said, "The need for labour in our province is great, and it's only going to get stronger with the substantial economic developments just announced in Saskatchewan." "This new Hard-To-Fill Skills Pilot, which was developed in Saskatchewan for Saskatchewan, is a step forward in our autonomy talks with the federal government, and it will help firms have more international alternatives for recruiting people." In addition, as we approach a period of robust growth following the worldwide epidemic, we have made record investments in training and up skilling our provincial workforce."

In December of 2021, the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) stream will begin accepting nominations. Employers and the community will support the nominees.

In a statement, Hospitality Saskatchewan President and CEO Jim Bence said, "This is very excellent news for enterprises in the hospitality industry in Saskatchewan." "This pilot initiative is aimed to attract talent and is an excellent programme for all sectors in the province that are currently experiencing labour shortages." While we always try to hire locally wherever possible, we need to be innovative to ensure we have the necessary labour supply to assist our businesses and communities grow and develop in Saskatchewan, which is something this very unique initiative will be very helpful with post-COVID."

To be considered for the position, candidates must meet the following requirements:

Have a full-time, permanent offer of employment from a registered Saskatchewan employer, as well as a SINP job approval letter for an eligible occupation;

• Have a minimum Canadian official language proficiency level; and

• Meet the minimum educational and work experience requirements, which include at least one year of work experience in the same occupation as the job offer or six months of work experience in that job in Saskatchewan.

There is no mention of what occupations are eligible, how much schooling is required, or what language level is required.

Employers must demonstrate that they have made significant efforts to hire domestically before they can utilise the pilot for recruitment. They must also demonstrate the necessity for and benefit to their organisation, as well as meet standards for providing workers with settlement assistance. No further information has been released.
