Skilled workers
Some SINP streams consider factors such as occupation, experience, Saskatchewan employment or a connection to the province. Requirements are stream-specific and set by the province.
For people building a life in Saskatchewan, the SINP gives the province its own role in immigration. We help you read the official criteria and compare the SINP with federal programs — without promises about nomination or acceptance.
Let’s explore your options A personal conversation. Not a promise of an outcome.
The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program is Saskatchewan’s own economic immigration program, run by the Government of Saskatchewan. “Nominee” is the key word: a SINP nominee is a candidate the province puts forward to the federal government for permanent residence. A nomination is not itself a permanent residence decision — IRCC makes the final decision, and federal criteria and processes continue to apply after a nomination.

The province maintains streams intended for people who already have a Saskatchewan connection, such as those currently living and working in the province.
Graduates may be considered only where the program’s own criteria admit graduates of eligible institutions and study, and only in the streams the province currently runs. Study alone does not qualify anyone.
Conversation starters, not a list of eligibility requirements.
Talk through your goals and the routes that may be worth reading about.
Identify the information to gather and the questions still to confirm.
Understand what is known, what remains uncertain, and where official guidance matters.
Some starting points for your next conversation.
No. A nomination is a provincial step; IRCC makes the permanent residence decision. Federal criteria and processes continue to apply after a nomination.
Skilled workers, people with existing Saskatchewan experience and, where the province’s current streams allow, international graduates. Every stream has its own criteria, and streams can change, pause or close.
An RCIC can explain how nomination and the federal stage fit together, help you review your information against current stream criteria, and help you organize what an Expression of Interest or stream application asks for.
