If you are studying or working in Canada, the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) offers several routes toward permanent residency. These options are built for people with local experience, education, or an active Express Entry profile.
Here is a simple breakdown of the streams that usually apply to candidates already inside Canada.
1. International Skilled Worker – Saskatchewan Express Entry
This pathway links with the federal Express Entry system. You must:
- Have an active Express Entry profile
- Qualify under FSW, FST, or CEC
- Meet SINP’s points grid
- Have language test results
- Show settlement funds (as per your federal program)
If selected, a provincial nomination adds 600 CRS points to your Express Entry score.
2. Saskatchewan Experience Category – Workers with Existing Work Permit
You Need :
- A valid work permit
- A full-time job offer from a Saskatchewan employer
- At least six months of paid work with the same employer
- A job under TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3
- Proof that you meet the job requirement.
This stream suits candidates who are already settled in a role and want a stable PR pathway.
3. International Skilled Worker – Occupations In-Demand
This option is for people without a job offer but with work experience that matches Saskatchewan’s current needs.
You must:
- Have experience in an occupation listed as in-demand
- Provide a language test
- Provide proof of settlement funds
- Meet SINP’s points score
- Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI)
The occupation list changes, so candidates should always check the latest version before applying.
