Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)

The SINP has recently reorganized its previous nine categories into three main categories: International Skilled Worker, Saskatchewan Experience, and Entrepreneur and Farm.

1. International Skilled Worker

This category is for skilled workers who wish to work and live in Saskatchewan. It uses a point-based system focusing on:

• Employment offers
• Education
• Work experience
• Language ability
• Age
• Family connections in Saskatchewan (can account for up to 20% of total points)

Requirements include:

• Minimum language score of CLB 4 (Canadian Language Benchmark) via a SINP-approved test
• Settlement funds must be demonstrated

In 2014, SINP accepted 250 applications from candidates without employment offers, provided their high-skilled occupation is in demand and listed as having �good� or �fair� employment prospects in Saskatchewan�s Detailed Occupational Outlook (2013�2017).
