Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP): Streams & Points
Quick answer: The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) uses a 100-point grid with a 60-point minimum. Its International Skilled Worker streams (Express Entry, Occupation In-Demand and Employment Offer) are among the few PNP options open to applicants abroad, sometimes without a job offer.
The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) is Saskatchewan's provincial immigration program that selects and nominates skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and farmers for Canadian permanent residence. Saskatchewan is one of Canada's Prairie provinces with a robust economy driven by agriculture, potash, oil and gas, and manufacturing sectors.
The SINP includes multiple immigration streams: the International Skilled Worker stream (with subcategories for Express Entry and Occupations In-Demand), the Saskatchewan Experience stream for individuals currently working in Saskatchewan, the Entrepreneur and Farm streams for business immigrants, and the International Graduate stream for graduates of Saskatchewan post-secondary institutions.
The International Skilled Worker - Occupations In-Demand subcategory targets specific occupations that are in high demand in Saskatchewan. Eligible candidates can apply directly without a job offer, provided their occupation appears on Saskatchewan's In-Demand Occupations List and they meet the points threshold.
Successful SINP nominees receive a provincial nomination certificate, which they can use to apply for Canadian permanent residence. Nominees through Express Entry-aligned streams also receive 600 additional CRS points. Saskatchewan's relatively affordable cost of living and strong employment market make it an attractive destination for newcomers.
