SINP - Get Residency in Canada through State / Provincial NominationWhat is the SINP?
The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) is an immigration program, administered by the province that operates under an agreement with the federal government. This program can provide a quicker means of entry into Canada; it allows Saskatchewan to nominate applicants to the federal government for permanent residence.
The SINP offers:
applicant selection based on the province’s economic and labour force needs;
competitive application processing times; and,
provincial immigration officers who can provide customer support with the process.
What is the SINP International Skilled Worker Category?
The International Skilled Worker Category is for skilled workers who want to work and live in Saskatchewan. This category enables the SINP to nominate individuals with postsecondary education and/or high-skilled work experience that have the education, experience, language ability and other factors to help them to successfully establish and integrate into Saskatchewan’s labour market and communities. How the SINP Works Two-Step Immigration
Process
Step 1:
Apply online to the SINP for nomination.
SINP reviews your application; and, if approved, the SINP will: send a nomination certificate to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC); and, send a nomination letter to you explaining how to submit an application to CIC.
Step 2:
After receiving a nomination from the SINP.
Apply to the CIC Centralized Intake Office (CIO) with your SINP nomination for permanent residence. View CIC’s application process for permanent residency for provincial nominees. CIC considers your application after they receive the nomination certificate from the SINP; and, CIC conducts health, security, and criminality reviews and verifies other inadmissibility provisions in Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) before issuing permanent resident visas to you and your accompanying family members.
