SINP explained: how the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program works

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program, commonly searched as "SINP," is one of Canada's longest-running provincial nomination programs. Here's a straightforward breakdown.

What is SINP?

SINP allows the province of Saskatchewan to nominate foreign workers, international graduates, and entrepreneurs for Canadian permanent residency based on the province's specific labour market needs.

Main SINP categories

• International Skilled Worker — for candidates with an eligible job offer or in-demand occupation.
• Saskatchewan Experience — for temporary foreign workers, international graduates, and semi-skilled workers already contributing to the local economy.
• Entrepreneur and Farm — for candidates looking to establish or purchase a business in the province.

Why applicants use a consultant for SINP

SINP's point-based assessment weighs age, education, work experience, and language ability differently depending on the category. A consultant helps identify the strongest category for your profile before you invest time in an application — a step that often determines whether the file is even eligible to proceed.
