International Skilled Worker: Health Talent Pathway
This pathway consolidates health-sector recruitment into a single route for physicians, nurses and a long list of other health occupations with a permanent, full-time job offer from a Saskatchewan health employer. It runs in both a regular (non-Express Entry) version and an Express Entry version with higher language requirements. The job offer must be supported by an Employer Position Assessment.
