Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) – Non Express Entry

• • What is Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) – Non Express Stream

    The non-Express Entry process for Saskatchewan involves the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP), which allows the province to nominate individuals who have the skills, experience, and qualifications needed in Saskatchewan’s labor market. Here’s an overview of the non-Express Entry process for Saskatchewan:

    • – Eligibility Criteria: The SINP has several streams, each with its own specific eligibility criteria. These criteria may include factors such as education, work experience, language proficiency, and ties to Saskatchewan.

    • – Categories and Streams: The SINP typically includes streams such as the International Skilled Worker Category (which includes sub-categories like Employment Offer, Occupation In-Demand, and Saskatchewan Express Entry), the Saskatchewan Experience Category, and the Entrepreneur and Farm categories. Applicants need to determine which stream aligns best with their qualifications and intentions.

    • – Expression of Interest (EOI): In most cases, individuals interested in applying to the SINP must first submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the program. The EOI typically includes information about the applicant’s education, work experience, language proficiency, and other relevant details.

    • – Invitation to Apply (ITA): Qualified candidates may receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for provincial nomination from the SINP. This invitation is usually based on factors such as the applicant’s score in the EOI pool and the current needs of Saskatchewan’s labor market.

    • – Application Submission: Once an ITA is received, applicants have a specified time frame to submit a complete application to the SINP. The application should include all required documents and information as per the stream’s guidelines.

    • – Nomination: If the application is approved, the applicant will receive a provincial nomination certificate from Saskatchewan.

    • – Federal Application: With the provincial nomination certificate, the applicant can then apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for permanent residence. The federal government will assess the application based on admissibility requirements, such as health, security, and background checks.

    • – Permanent Residence: If the federal application is approved, the applicant and their family members (if applicable) will be granted permanent residence in Canada.

    It’s important for applicants to carefully review the specific requirements and processes for the SINP stream they are interested in, as they may vary. They should also ensure they have the most up-to-date information by consulting the official website of the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program.
