Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) FAQ

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) is a program that allows Saskatchewan to nominate immigrants to fill the economic and labour market needs of the province.

The SINP accepts applications under three immigration categories:

• International Skilled Worker Category,
• Saskatchewan Experience Category, and
• Entrepreneur and Farm Category.

To be considered eligible as a skilled worker under the SINP, you must have a permanent, full-time job offer from a Saskatchewan employer as a worker in a skilled, professional, or managerial position OR have sufficient experience in one of Saskatchewan’s in-demand occupations.

Individuals interested in applying to the SINP under the Saskatchewan Express Entry and Occupation In-Demand categories must first submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to apply. 

The Students Sub-Category accepts applications from students who have graduated from a recognized post-secondary institution in Canada. Among the requirements, student applicants must have 24 months (two years) of full-time work experience in Canada, or six months if their post-secondary education institution is in Saskatchewan.

This program was created for individuals who have been working in Saskatchewan as food and beverage servers, food counter attendants, kitchen helpers, or housekeeping and cleaning staff for at least six months on a valid work permit. The employer must receive approval from the province of Saskatchewan before the applicant begins work in Canada.
