Saskatchewan PNP

Saskatchewan offers an immigration pathway to applicants under their Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program. The SINP enables the province to:

  • Invite Canada PR applications from non-Canadians who wish to settle in Saskatchewan
  • Nominate the applications of successful applicants for Canada PR to the Federal Government

Obtaining a nomination through SINP is the first step towards becoming a permanent resident in the province of Saskatchewan. The applications approved by SINP are then processed for Canada PR by the IRCC - Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
