Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) offers one a way to immigrate to Canada. This program is an invitation to residency application from non Canadians who wishes to make Saskatchewan as their home and the successful applicants gets nominated to the federal government in order to help them gain permanent residency in Canada.
One of the major advantage of this program is that it has started a SINP Occupations in Demand list which offers temporary work permit for International skilled and Saskatchewan SINP experience nominees. To avail this, applicants must provide any required form s and documents to prove their eligibility for SINP nomination. One may also require these documents to verify their identity, work experience, academic credentials, language abilities, financials etc.
The International Skilled Worker Category
Otherwise known as the Saskatchewan PNP category is meant for potential immigrants who are skilled, educated, language proficiency, work experience or any other abilities which can make them suited for living and working in Saskatchewan. There are 3 sub-categories in the International Skilled Worker Category which are:
- Employment Offer Sub-Category
This sub-category is for the skilled workers with a job offer from a qualified employee in the province.
- Occupations In Demand Sub-Category
This sub-category is for the skilled workers who do not have a job offer from a qualified employee in the province but are high skilled in an In Demand Occupation.
- Saskatchewan Express Entry Sub-Category
The express entry sub-category of the SINP International Skilled Worker Category has been started for the skilled workers who are part of the candidate pool of Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s Express Entry System.
