Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program

Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) selects immigrants who have the skills, education, and work experience to contribute to Saskatchewan's growing economy. The program operates through streams tailored to workers, international graduates, entrepreneurs, and farm owners.

International Skilled Worker Category

The largest SINP category targets internationally trained workers with skills that match Saskatchewan's in-demand occupations. There are two main pathways:

• Occupation In-Demand Sub-category: For workers in occupations on Saskatchewan's In-Demand Occupation List. No job offer required — SINP issues Expressions of Interest and invites highest-scoring candidates.
• Saskatchewan Express Entry Sub-category: Linked to the federal Express Entry pool. Saskatchewan selects candidates from the EE pool in priority occupations. Nomination adds 600 CRS points.

Existing Work Permit Sub-category

For foreign nationals already living and working in Saskatchewan on a valid work permit. Must have a full-time, permanent job offer from their current Saskatchewan employer.

Points-Based EOI

SINP uses a competitive EOI system for most streams. Candidates create profiles and receive points for: education (up to 23), language (up to 12), work experience (up to 15), age (up to 12), job offer (up to 25), and connections to Saskatchewan (up to 15). Invitations are issued in regular draws.

Entrepreneur and Farm Category

Saskatchewan also has streams for immigrant entrepreneurs willing to invest in a Saskatchewan business and for experienced farmers who will purchase farmland in the province.
