Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) Visa Canada

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) provides an alternative means of entry into Canada. It allows Saskatchewan to nominate applicants, who qualify under criteria established by the province, to the federal government for landed immigrant status.

The SINP allows for the nomination for permanent residence for selected applicants whose skills and abilities are deemed to be best fit the province's ever growing needs. Individuals will also enjoy the priority processing of their applications for permanent residence by Citizenship & Immigration Canada (CIC) and the assistance of provincial immigration officers who are readily available to assist.

Employers seeking to sponsor or hire foreign workers can sign up for Canadian Corporate Immigration Services.
