SASKATCHEWAN IMMIGRANT NOMINEE PROGRAM (SINP)

Saskatchewan is a land of natural beauty that is rich in resources and full of opportunities for studies, quality living and starting a business. Saskatchewan is a great place for you and your family to call home.

The SINP allows for the nomination for permanent residence for selected applicants whose skills and abilities are deemed to be best fit the province's ever growing needs. Individuals will also enjoy the priority processing of their applications for permanent residence by Citizenship & Immigration Canada (CIC) and the assistance of provincial immigration officers who are readily available to assist.
