Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) – Express Entry

• • What is Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)

    SINP is an immigration program specific to the province of Saskatchewan in Canada. The SINP allows the province to nominate individuals and their families for Canadian permanent residency based on their skills, work experience, and ability to contribute to the economy of Saskatchewan. There are various streams within the SINP, including those for skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and international graduates, each with its own set of eligibility criteria and requirements.

  • SINP has four main categories under which applicants can apply:

    • – International Skilled Worker – The International Skilled Worker category under the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) aims to attract skilled individuals to contribute to Saskatchewan’s economy. Divided into three sub-categories, including Occupation In-Demand, Express Entry, and Occupation In-Demand and Express Entry, the program targets skilled workers with the necessary education, work experience, and language proficiency. While some streams require a job offer in Saskatchewan, others are aligned with the federal Express Entry system. Successful applicants receive a provincial nomination, enhancing their prospects for Canadian permanent residence.

    • – Worker with Saskatchewan Work Experience – The Worker with Saskatchewan Work Experience category under the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) is designed to nominate individuals who have been working in Saskatchewan on a valid work permit for at least six months and who have established connections to the province through their work experience.

    • – Entrepreneur – The Entrepreneur category under the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) is aimed at individuals who wish to establish, acquire, or partner in a business in Saskatchewan. This category allows eligible entrepreneurs to apply for Canadian permanent residency if they meet specific criteria, including having a minimum net worth, demonstrating relevant business management or entrepreneurial experience, presenting a viable business proposal, and committing to actively manage the business in Saskatchewan. Successful applicants receive a provincial nomination, which significantly enhances their chances of obtaining Canadian permanent residence.
