Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is one of the most popular immigration pathways that allows provinces to select candidates with the skills needed to support their economies. The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) is a widely chosen PNP pathway, ideal for skilled professionals, entrepreneurs, and international graduates looking to settle in the province. Each PNPs has its own streams for selecting candidates. This article focuses on SINP for the understanding. Key streams of SINP include:
- International Skilled Worker – Express Entry: For candidates in Express Entry with in-demand occupations (no job offer required).
- International Skilled Worker – Occupations In-Demand: For skilled workers outside Express Entry with experience in a high-demand job.
- Saskatchewan Experience Category: For temporary foreign workers already in Saskatchewan.
- Entrepreneur and Farm Category: For those looking to start or buy a business.
To better understand how this process works, let’s look at an example of Amit Patel, a fictional candidate who successfully applies for Saskatchewan’s PNP and secures permanent residency in Canada.

With a master’s degree in IT, five years of experience, and an IELTS score of CLB 8, he spends months researching his options. He soon discovers that Saskatchewan is actively seeking IT professionals like him. Excited by the opportunity, he realizes that the SINP- International Skilled Worker – Express Entry Stream is the perfect fit, as his occupation is in high demand. Eager to start his journey, he begins the application process.
