A nurse (NOC 3012, 6 years' experience, bachelor's in nursing, CLB 6, cousin with PR in Saskatchewan) asked about PNP options.
- Raise the IELTS score first. CLB 6 was flagged as the binding constraint - more language points change what's reachable.
- Saskatchewan's International Health Worker EOI pool was the concrete suggestion: you create an EOI, and the province connects candidates with employers; expect an interview rather than a purely points-based selection.
- Tempering expectation: a member who had been in that EOI pool since it opened reported invitations going to other healthcare occupations (lab technologists, radiologists) rather than nurses - so treat it as one iron in the fire, not the plan.
- Family in the province helps some streams (relative points), but no one presented it as sufficient on its own; the same member had applied to Nova Scotia in parallel, which is the right instinct - run more than one province.
