How it works
About the international skilled worker: occupation in-demand
On paper this is the province's one route without a job offer. In practice it is dormant: Saskatchewan states there are no scheduled draws, and the last published selection was on 12 September 2024. The criteria remain published and profiles are still accepted.
Applying from outside Canada: Open from abroad in principle, but with no draws scheduled it is not a live route today. Saskatchewan has not called it closed.
Source: the province's own page for this stream. Last checked September 11, 2026. Provinces change stream criteria without notice, so confirm the detail before you rely on it.

Programme
The Saskatchewan programme right now
The worker streams are open, but Saskatchewan permanently closed every entrepreneur and farm pathway on 27 March 2025, and now allocates its 4,761 nominations by sector: at least half to priority sectors such as health, agriculture, trades, mining, manufacturing, energy and technology, and at most a quarter to capped sectors, which open only in short intake windows.
Saskatchewan permanently closed all entrepreneur and farm pathways on 27 March 2025: no new applications, no new expressions of interest and no further invitations. Its published draw results are a PDF that has not been updated since September 2024.
