PNP — SASKATCHEWAN

Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP).

Saskatchewan has 4,761 federal nominations to spend in 2026, with at least 50% reserved for priority sectors (healthcare, agriculture, trades, mining, manufacturing, energy, tech). SINP has restructured its 2026 intake — a new $500 application fee took effect April 1, 2026, and processing has dropped to a 2–3 week target. We handle SINP files end to end.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

How SINP works.

SINP runs under three broad categories: International Skilled Worker (for candidates outside Canada or new to SK — covers Express Entry, Occupations In-Demand, and Employment Offer sub-categories), Saskatchewan Experience (for foreign workers and students already in SK), and Entrepreneur and Farm (business streams).

For 2026, SINP introduced an explicit allocation split: at least 50% of nominations (about 2,381) go to priority sectors, no more than 25% to capped sectors (accommodation/food services, retail trade, trucking — employer intake opened March 2, 2026), and 25% to other sectors. PGWP holders who studied outside Saskatchewan can no longer apply via Saskatchewan Experience pathways — they must use Student, Health Talent, Agriculture Talent, Tech Talent, or International Skilled Worker: Employment Offer.

SINP STREAMS

International Skilled Worker, Saskatchewan Experience, business streams.

SINP streams cluster into International Skilled Worker (for candidates outside the province), Saskatchewan Experience (for people already in SK), Talent pathways (priority sectors), and Entrepreneur/Farm. We confirm the strongest stream at the consultation.

INT'L SKILLED WORKER · EE-ALIGNED

International Skilled Worker: Saskatchewan Express Entry

For candidates in the federal Express Entry pool whose profiles align with SK's labour priorities. Nomination adds 600 CRS points — effectively guarantees an ITA in the next federal draw.

INT'L SKILLED WORKER · BASE

International Skilled Worker: Occupations In-Demand

For workers in an in-demand occupation (per SINP's published NOC list) with the work experience, education, and language scores SINP requires. No SK job offer needed.

International Skilled Worker: Employment Offer

For workers with a permanent, full-time job offer from an eligible Saskatchewan employer in a skilled occupation. Available to candidates outside Canada or new to SK.

SK EXPERIENCE · BASE

Existing Work Permit

For foreign workers currently in Saskatchewan on a valid work permit with at least 6 months of full-time SK work experience for the same employer and a permanent SK job offer.

TALENT PATHWAYS · BASE

Health Talent / Agriculture Talent / Tech Talent

Targeted talent pathways for priority sectors. Open to PGWP holders who studied outside Saskatchewan but are now working in healthcare, agriculture, or tech in SK.

SK EXPERIENCE · BASE

Student

For international graduates of a Saskatchewan DLI who live in the province and are working in a field relevant to their degree on a PGWP.

BUSINESS · BASE

2026 PRIORITY SECTORS

Where 50% of nominations go.

SINP has explicitly reserved at least 2,381 of its 4,761 nominations for these sectors in 2026. Candidates working in or job-offered into one of these areas have materially better odds.

HOW WE WORK A SINP FILE

From EOI to PR.

Every SINP file is handled directly by Jugraj. The four steps below are the backbone — SK-specific details (EOI scoring, employer NOC verification, capped-sector intake windows) slot in where needed.

01

Stream selection + EOI build

We assess your work history, language scores, occupation (NOC/TEER), education, and any Saskatchewan connection. We build the strongest profile for the right SINP stream — EE-aligned, Occupations In-Demand, Employment Offer, talent pathway, or business.

02

EOI registration / application

We register your Expression of Interest in the SINP system. SINP runs regular EOI draws — we monitor the cadence and respond to invitations within the deadline.

03

Provincial nomination certificate

If invited and approved, SINP issues a nomination. For Saskatchewan Express Entry, +600 CRS is applied to your Express Entry profile and an ITA follows in the next federal draw.

04

Federal PR application + landing

Full PR application to IRCC — medical exam, biometrics, supporting documents, security checks. We respond to procedural fairness letters and follow up on stalled files. You're walked through landing once approved.
