Receiving a nomination from Saskatchewan through the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) is a crucial step toward obtaining permanent residency in Canada.  However, several steps must be completed before the immigration process is finalized.

Understanding the Nomination Category

Nominees are selected under different SINP categories, including:

• International Skilled Worker Category:  For individuals with skilled work experience and education.
• Saskatchewan Experience Category:  For temporary workers already employed in Saskatchewan.
• Entrepreneur and Farm Category:  For those planning to invest in or start a business in Saskatchewan.

Each category has specific post-nomination requirements that candidates must fulfill before proceeding to the next stage.

Preparing the Federal Application

Once nominated, candidates must apply for permanent residence through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). 

Submitting the Permanent Residence Application

Applicants must submit required documents to IRCC, which may include:

• Nomination certificate from Saskatchewan
• Proof of work experience
• Language test results (IELTS, CELPIP, etc.)
• Medical and police clearance certificates
• Proof of funds (if applicable)
• Identity documents (passport, birth certificate, etc.)

Ensuring all documents are complete and properly certified can help avoid processing delays.  During this period, IRCC may request additional documentation or clarifications.

Medical and Security Checks

As part of the permanent residency process, applicants must undergo:

• Medical Examination: Conducted by an IRCC-approved physician to ensure the candidate does not pose a public health risk.
• Security and Criminal Background Check: A thorough review of police certificates from any country where the applicant has lived for more than six months.

 

Receiving Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR)

Once the application is approved, IRCC issues a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR).  This document serves as official confirmation of permanent resident status.  In some cases, a permanent resident visa may also be issued.

 

Landing in Canada

To complete the immigration process, the applicant must:

• Travel to Canada and present the COPR and visa to immigration officials at the port of entry.
• Provide biometric information (if not previously submitted).
• Complete a landing interview with an immigration officer, who will grant permanent resident status.

 

Settlement in Saskatchewan

After obtaining permanent residency, newcomers can settle in Saskatchewan and access various settlement services, including language programs, employment assistance, and community support programs.

 

Meeting Residency Obligations

To maintain permanent resident status, individuals must reside in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) within every 5-year period.  Those planning extended stays outside Canada must take necessary steps to maintain their residency obligations.

Receiving a nomination from Saskatchewan is a significant milestone in the immigration process.  By following the required steps and ensuring all documents are accurately submitted, candidates can increase their chances of a smooth transition to permanent residency in Canada.
