Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)

Saskatchewan — PNP guide

Stream overview and official links. Criteria and intake status change—verify on the government site before you apply.

The SINP is organized into categories such as International Skilled Worker, Saskatchewan Experience, and Entrepreneur/Farm. Many streams use an Expression of Interest (EOI) or application-by-invitation model; occupation lists and eligibility change over time.

Streams and categories (summary)

Names and groupings follow public provincial materials. Sub-rules (NOC TEER, wages, language, job-offer format, EOI scoring) are in the official program guides—not reproduced here.
