How to apply for Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program- SINP
In this detailed guide you will learn all about:
· Introduction to SINP

· Application Categories

· SINP processing Fee
1. What is Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)?
Immigration to Canada is every man’s dream, for the country ever presents exciting work and residential opportunities to foreign nationals. The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) is one such way (and a popular one too) to gain Permanent Residency (PR) in Canada.
Conveniently situated in Western Canada, Saskatchewan is one of the best locales for settlement. Saskatchewan is called as “Land of Living Skies” where you can see different colour in sky when you move to small towns and farmland. You can clearly see sky touching ground when you move outside cities. The capital of Saskatchewan is Regina and major city according to population is Saskatoon.
Its agriculture-based economy also attracts people from far and wide. To fill certain gaps in its economy and to boost growth, SINP invites foreigners with the necessary skills and experience to apply for Saskatchewan provincial nomination and eventually for PR.
2. Why should you Choose SINP?
Applying for a provincial nomination to Saskatchewan via SINP presents a couple of advantages.
1. Under two categories of SINP called “Saskatchewan Express Entry” and “Occupation in-demand”, there is no need of job offer and experience in Canada or any connection with Saskatchewan.
2. Deserving candidates are allowed a less complex and time-saving route to apply directly to the Canadian government. The processing time of applications coming through SINP is relatively lesser.
3. Applicants receive complete support and guidance from provincial immigration officers on the various requirement criteria to avoid any possibility of error in the application.
4. SINP not only helps foreign immigrants but also residents living and working in the province. The program presents opportunities to skilled participants for investing in or starting a business in Saskatchewan.
Taking about my experience with SINP, it took almost 2 and half months to receive the nomination if I exclude the waiting period to receive the CIPS certificate.
During the process, one of my bank statements was missing but I must say SINP is very supportive and responsive.
They asked me to submit it as soon as possible and I did the same. Except this, there were many times I called and email them to know other things and even after receiving nomination.
Trust me; SINP is one of the best immigrant nominee programs to apply for.
3. What are the SINP Application Categories
There are Four Major Categories of SINP who have further sub-categories:
Category 1: International Skilled Worker Stream
Category 2: International Graduate Entrepreneur Category
Category 3: Entrepreneur and Farm Category
Category 4: Saskatchewan Experience Category
Category 1: International Skilled Worker Stream
Applications from foreign skilled workers are invited to fill the skilled labour gap in the province. Nominations fall under the following sub-categories:
1. Express Entry Stream
2. Occupation In-Demand Stream
3. Employment Offer Stream
International Skilled Worker – Express Entry Stream
The Express Entry Stream works on the EOI point-system model wherein candidates who meet criteria can create an online profile of Expression of Interest (EOI) on the SINP login portal.
Check my complete guide on “Saskatchewan Expression of Interest (EOI)” which will help you to know about SINP EOI system, how to calculate points for EOI, how to create and submit EOI, how EOI system works and how SINP ranks candidates on the base of EOI.
After submission of the profile, candidates are ranked via the SINP Ranking System and assigned a score. Those who rank the highest are chosen from one of the SINP draws and issued an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for provincial nomination.
