The Hard-to-Fill Skills Pilot immigration pathway in Saskatchewan is on hold as of January 2024. The requirements for immigration under this program are expected to be updated in the spring of 2024. But even now, workers in the healthcare and agricultural sectors can apply under this stream.
This program was started in December 2021 to provide Saskatchewan employers with an opportunity to fill vacancies in lower and middle-level occupations. To apply for the program, it was enough to work for an employer in Saskatchewan in one of the occupations for at least 6 months on a full-time basis.
Refugee claimants in Canada could not apply under this program. Also, applicants were not eligible for consideration of immigration under the Hard-to-Fill Skills Pilot without properly prepared documents, grounds for work and residence in the province, or falsely submitted information in the application.

The immigration policy of the Government of Canada and provincial governments is characterized by dynamism, so by contacting MV Group immigration consultants, you will receive a step-by-step immigration plan, preparation of all necessary documents, and effective case support until you receive your PR cards.
Meanwhile, the Government of Saskatchewan emphasizes that the program was put on hold due to the exhaustion of the number of invitations under the Hard-to-Fill Skills stream, as well as the need to reassess the effectiveness of the pathway and improve immigration requirements in this area.
