Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) is a streamlined immigration pathway that allows the province of Saskatchewan to nominate individuals for Canadian permanent residency. This program is tailored to attract skilled professionals, entrepreneurs, students, and farmers who can contribute to the province’s economic growth and workforce.

By securing a provincial nomination through SINP, eligible applicants gain a significant advantage in their immigration journey, with faster processing times and a direct route to Canadian permanent residency.

The International Skilled Worker Category is a key component of the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP), designed to attract skilled workers from around the world who possess the qualifications needed to contribute to Saskatchewan’s labor market and economy. This category offers pathways for individuals who have the education, skilled work experience, and language proficiency to integrate successfully into the province’s workforce.

This category is for skilled workers who want to work and live in Saskatchewan. It includes three sub-categories:

Employment Offer

The SINP International Skilled Worker Category offers Employment Offer sub-category for skilled workers who have secured a permanent, full-time job offer in Saskatchewan. This pathway facilitates obtaining Canadian permanent residency for individuals whose skills and experience align with the province's labor market needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a job offer to apply for the SINP?

Not all SINP categories require a job offer. For instance, the Occupation In-Demand and Saskatchewan Express Entry sub-categories do not require a job offer, while others, like the Employment Offer sub-category, do.

 

The SINP accepts results from approved language tests such as IELTS, CELPIP, and TEF. Ensure your test results are valid and meet the required Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) levels for your chosen category.

 

Processing times can vary depending on the category and the completeness of your application. It’s advisable to check the current processing times on the official SINP website.

Yes, certain SINP categories are designed for individuals already working and living in Saskatchewan on a valid work permit.

 

To be eligible to apply for the SINP, you must meet specific criteria related to your chosen category, including factors like education, work experience, language proficiency, and adaptability. It’s essential to review the detailed requirements for each category to determine your eligibility.

While the SINP is a primary pathway for provincial nomination, individuals can also consider federal immigration programs or other provincial nominee programs, depending on their qualifications and circumstances.

Once invited to apply, your Expression of Interest (EOI) profile will be removed from the EOI pool. If you don’t apply within 60 days, your Invitation to Apply will expire. You will need to create a new EOI profile if you remain interested in applying to the SINP.

If an applicant is found to have completed the EOI profile and self-assessment fraudulently, they will be refused and prohibited from reapplying to the SINP for two years. If an authentic mistake was made, the application will not be processed and will be returned, allowing the applicant to resubmit a new EOI profile.
