Accommodation filled on the opening day
Saskatchewan's September capped-sector intake opened on September 14, 2026. Trucking (150 positions) and retail (175 positions) opened at 9:30 a.m. CST, and accommodation (50 positions) opened at 1:30 p.m. CST. The official table records all 50 accommodation positions as used, with the limit reached on September 14.
Neither trucking nor retail used its full limit on the first day. The food-services window followed on September 15 with 175 positions and was also used in full.
The September windows on the official table
The province's table, checked on October 18, 2026, shows the following. The four windows together offered 550 positions.
| Sector | Window | Limit | Used | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trucking | September 14, 9:30 a.m. CST | 150 | 150 | Limit reached October 10, 2026 |
| Retail | September 14, 9:30 a.m. CST | 175 | 137 | 38 positions remaining |
| Accommodation | September 14, 1:30 p.m. CST | 50 | 50 | Limit reached September 14 |
| Food services | September 15, 1:30 p.m. CST | 175 | 175 | Limit reached September 15 |
The province updates the table each weekday during an intake, or immediately when a limit is reached. A figure for a window that still has space, such as retail, can change, so employers should check the table just before submitting.
Only eligible current workers can use these windows
In these windows only workers with six months or less remaining on a valid work permit are eligible, and applications for a worker with more than six months remaining are not accepted.
The capped sectors are retail (NAICS 44–45), trucking (NAICS 48–49), and accommodation and food services (NAICS 72). An employer can draft an EPA in the OASIS portal at any time, but can submit it only while the relevant window is open and space remains.
This is an employer-position intake, not a nomination draw
Each position requested through an Employer Position Assessment counts toward the limit of its window. A counted position does not mean the worker has received a provincial nomination. The employer position and the worker's later application must still meet all SINP requirements.
