The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) offer immigration options for international clients without a job offer under occupation in demand and sinp express entry streams which are based on a point system.

Saskatchewan is a province located in Western Canada.
The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) provides pathways for immigration to Canada. There are two very active provincial nomination streams that do not require job offers. The first is the Saskatchewan Express Entry stream, which requires having an active profile in the Express Entry system in order to apply.
The Express Entry sub-category is PNP, which means it is linked to the federal Express Entry system. Express Entry candidates who receive a provincial nomination from the province of Saskatchewan are awarded an additional 600 points toward their CRS score. This award effectively guarantees them a chance to apply for Canadian permanent residence.

In order to be considered for an invitation to apply for a provincial nomination under this stream, candidates must create an Express Entry profile and submit their EOI ( express their interest) in settling in Saskatchewan.
The second stream is the Saskatchewan Occupation In-Demand, which does not require having an Express Entry profile. The stream is designed to bring skilled workers to fill labour market needs. To be eligible, an applicant must have at least one year of work experience in one of the positions included on Saskatchewan’s Occupations In-Demand list.
Saskatchewan regularly issues invitations through these two streams. So far in this year, 2,733 Saskatchewan Express Entry and 3,433 Occupations In-Demand candidates have been invited.

International Skilled Worker: Express Entry

This sub-category is for candidates who do not have a job offer in Saskatchewan but have experience in an in-demand occupation. Applicants must meet these below requirements:
