SASKATCHEWAN IMMIGRANT NOMINEE PROGRAM (SINP)
The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) is one of the faster ways to immigrate to Canada given the relatively shorter times for applications to be processed. Through the SINP, the Province of Saskatchewan invites residency applications from non-Canadians who want to reside in the province of Saskatchewan. Successful candidates are nominated to the federal government for permanent residency in Canada.
SINP Streams
The SINP accepts applications under three streams: International Skilled Worker, Saskatchewan Experience, and Entrepreneur and Farm.
1. International Skilled Worker Stream
This stream nominates skilled workers who want to live and work in Saskatchewan. Candidates need to meet the SINP criteria and have factors that will help them successfully settle in Saskatchewan.
