What is the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)?

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) allows the province of Saskatchewan to nominate individuals for Permanent Residency in Canada. It is designed to address the province’s specific labor market needs by attracting skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and individuals who have the potential to contribute to Saskatchewan’s economy.

The SINP offers several immigration streams that allow individuals to apply based on their work experience, education, and other factors. As a part of Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), the SINP provides a pathway to Canadian Permanent Residency for those who meet the program’s criteria.

SINP Streams and Eligibility

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) offers multiple streams to help different categories of individuals immigrate to Saskatchewan. Below are the primary SINP streams:

  1. International Skilled Worker CategoryThis stream is for skilled workers who want to live and work in Saskatchewan. It includes the following sub-categories:
  • Express Entry Sub-Category:For candidates who are already in the Express Entry pool and meet the qualifications required by Saskatchewan.

How the SINP Process Works

The SINP application process typically involves the following steps:

  1. Determine Eligibility:First, assess your eligibility for one of the SINP streams. At Exposure Immigration, we help you determine which stream you are best suited for based on your qualifications, experience, and goals.
  2. Submit Expression of Interest (EOI):For certain streams, such as the Express Entry Sub-Category and the Occupation In-Demand Sub-Category, you need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). The EOI is a way for Saskatchewan to assess your qualifications and select applicants for nomination.
  3. Nomination by Saskatchewan:If you meet the criteria and are selected, you will receive a provincial nomination from the SINP. This nomination can significantly increase your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Permanent Residency from the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
  4. Apply for Permanent Residency:Once nominated by Saskatchewan, you can apply for Permanent Residency with IRCC. This may be through the Express Entry system (if applicable) or through the paper-based process for non-Express Entry streams.
  5. Permanent Residency Approval:If your PR application is successful, you will receive Permanent Residency status and can begin your new life in Saskatchewan, working and living in the province.
