SINP Immigration Consultant for Saskatchewan Immigration

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program allows Saskatchewan to nominate eligible foreign nationals for permanent residence based on the province’s economic and labour market needs.

Your options may depend on your occupation, work permit, Saskatchewan work experience, education, employer and job offer. Some pathways are also connected to the federal Express Entry system.

An experienced SINP immigration consultant can review your circumstances and help you understand which Saskatchewan immigration pathway may be suitable for you.

Current SINP Pathways

International Skilled Worker

The International Skilled Worker category includes pathways for eligible applicants who may be living inside or outside Canada.

Current pathways include:

• Employment Offer
• Saskatchewan Express Entry
• Health Talent Pathway
• Agriculture Talent Pathway
• Innovation and Tech Talent Pathway

Some pathways require an approved job offer from a Saskatchewan employer. Others may use the Expression of Interest system. Creating an Expression of Interest profile does not guarantee that you will receive an invitation to apply.

Saskatchewan Experience

The Saskatchewan Experience category is mainly for eligible foreign nationals who are already living and working in Saskatchewan.

Current pathways include:

• Skilled Worker With Existing Work Permit
• Students
• Health Talent Pathway
• Agriculture Talent Pathway
• Innovation and Tech Talent Pathway

Working in Saskatchewan for six months does not automatically make every applicant eligible. Your work permit, occupation, employer, job offer and Saskatchewan employment history must meet the requirements of the pathway under which you apply.

Employer Position Assessment

Most SINP pathways involving a Saskatchewan job offer require the employer to obtain an approved Employer Position Assessment before the worker can apply.

The requirements may vary depending on the employer, occupation and industry. Accommodation and food services, trucking and retail are capped sectors. Employers and workers in these sectors may face limited intake periods and additional eligibility conditions.

SINP Streams That Are Paused, Closed or Replaced

Some SINP streams mentioned on older websites and social-media posts are paused, permanently closed or no longer offered under their previous names:

• Occupations In-Demand: paused until further notice
• Hard-to-Fill Skills Pilot: permanently closed
• Entrepreneur Category: permanently closed
• International Graduate Entrepreneur Category: permanently closed
• Farm Owner and Operator Category: permanently closed
• Hospitality Sector Project: no longer offered as a separate stream
• Long-Haul Truck Driver Project: no longer offered as a separate stream
• Health Professionals Category: replaced by the Health Talent Pathway
• Semi-skilled Agriculture Worker Category: replaced by the Agriculture Talent Pathway

Although Saskatchewan Express Entry remains listed by SINP, invitations depend on provincial selection priorities, eligible occupations and current labour market needs.

If the pathway you previously planned to use has been paused, closed or changed, another Saskatchewan immigration option may still be available.

How Does the SINP Application Process Work?

The application process depends on the pathway.

Some applicants must first create an Expression of Interest profile and receive an invitation to apply. For pathways requiring a Saskatchewan job offer, the employer will generally need to obtain an approved Employer Position Assessment before the worker submits an SINP application.

If Saskatchewan approves the application, the applicant receives a provincial nomination. The next step is to apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada for permanent residence.

A provincial nomination does not guarantee permanent residence. The applicant must still meet all applicable federal immigration requirements.
