Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)

Saskatchewan is one of Canada's fastest-growing provinces and consistently runs SINP draws at CRS scores well below federal Express Entry rounds. For Indian professionals in skilled trades, healthcare, agriculture, and technology, SINP offers one of the most accessible pathways to Canadian permanent residence in 2026.

SINP Immigration Streams

International Skilled Worker — Express Entry

Aligned with the federal Express Entry pool. Candidates must have an active Express Entry profile. A provincial nomination adds 600 CRS points, virtually guaranteeing an ITA. Best for those with CRS scores in the 300–440 range.

International Skilled Worker — Occupations In-Demand

For TEER 0, 1, 2, and 3 occupations on Saskatchewan's in-demand list. No active Express Entry profile required. Ideal for trades workers, healthcare professionals, engineers, and IT specialists outside the Express Entry pool.

Saskatchewan Experience Category

For temporary foreign workers and international graduates already employed in Saskatchewan. Requires a valid work permit and a minimum period of Saskatchewan work experience. Provides a direct pathway to PR for those already living in the province.

Entrepreneur & Farm Streams

The Entrepreneur stream targets business owners and investors who intend to establish or purchase a business in Saskatchewan. The Farm stream is for experienced farmers who plan to purchase and operate a Saskatchewan farm.

How the SINP EOI System Works

Saskatchewan uses an Expression of Interest (EOI) pool to manage applications. Candidates register a profile and are scored on a 100-point grid. SINP then conducts regular draws, inviting the highest-scoring applicants to submit full nominations.
