Saskatchewan, a prairie province in Western Canada, is renowned for its rich mineral resources, including oil, natural gas, and potash. The province’s economy has experienced a significant boom due to the development of these resources, attracting a growing urban population. Thanks to abundant job opportunities and a relatively affordable cost of living, Saskatchewan has become a popular destination for immigrants.
The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) is a provincial immigration pathway that allows the federal government to select skilled immigrants with in-demand job skills and experience for Canadian permanent residency.
There are two ways to apply:
👉 Direct Entry: Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) directly to the SINP. If selected, you’ll receive a provincial nomination and can then import your credentials into the Express Entry system.
👉 Express Entry: Create an Express Entry profile and select Saskatchewan as your preferred province. If you’re selected, you’ll receive an invitation to apply for the SINP and instantly gain 600 points in the Comprehensive Ranking System. This significantly increases your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency in Canada in the next Express Entry draw.
Skilled workers seeking to live and work in Saskatchewan can apply under this category. Applicants must meet specific criteria and demonstrate proficiency in education, work experience, and English or French.
