Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)

Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP): Your Path to PR

What Is the SINP?

The SINP helps individuals who have the skills, work experience, or entrepreneurial intent valued by Saskatchewan secure a provincial nomination. That nomination lets you apply for permanent residence through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). (turn0search1)

SINP Main Streams

1. International Skilled Worker (ISW)

This is the most dynamic category with three sub-streams:

• Occupations In-Demand
  For skilled workers in shortage occupations—no job offer needed. Requires a minimum of 60 points on a 110-point grid, including education, experience, language, age, and Saskatchewan connection. Must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). (turn0search7)
• Saskatchewan Express Entry (enhanced)
  For candidates in the Express Entry pool—must match Saskatchewan’s in-demand jobs criteria. Submit an EOI, and upon invitation, you’ll get a provincial nomination which boosts your CRS score by 600 points. (turn0search9, turn0search3)
• Employment Offer
  For workers with a valid job offer in Saskatchewan. Submit an EOI; if invited, apply with supporting documentation. (turn0search5)

Note (2025): SINP’s annual nomination quota has been reduced by 50%, and 75% must go to applicants already in Canada. This has paused new EOI draws. (turn0search11)

2. Saskatchewan Experience Category (Sask. Work Experience)

For individuals already working in Saskatchewan on a valid work permit. Includes specialized pathways:

• Tech Talent Pathway
  For applicants with job offers in technology or innovation sectors (e.g. software engineers, cybersecurity specialists). Requires tech-specific credentials (e.g. APEGS for engineering roles). Employers must register and issue a Job Approval Letter. (turn0search9)
• Agriculture Talent Pathway and Health Talent Pathway
  Launched in August 2024 to address workforce needs in agriculture and healthcare. Simplifies credential recognition and recruitment. (turn0search13)

3. Entrepreneur and Farm Category

For those planning to start or purchase a business or farm in Saskatchewan:

• Entrepreneur Pathway
  For business start-up or purchase—must submit EOI, receive an invitation, and sign a Performance Agreement to establish/manage the business before nomination. (turn0search4)
• Farm Owner and Operator Pathway
  For individuals with farming experience looking to operate a farm in Saskatchewan. (turn0search4)

How the SINP Process Works

1. Determine your eligibility, then submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) via OASIS for ISW streams. (turn0search11)
2. Your profile is scored based on multiple factors. Top-ranked applicants receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA). (turn0search11, turn0search8)
3. Submit a complete application with required documents and fees within the deadline.
4. If approved, you get the provincial nomination certificate, which you then use to apply for federal permanent residency.
