What is the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)?
Launched in 1998 to address the province’s economic needs, the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) has become a resounding success. Today, 7 out of every 10 new immigrants take advantage of this program. With an impressive employment rate of approximately 76% and a settlement rate exceeding 85%, the program is not only effective but also offers strong long-term stability for newcomers. What’s more, the SINP is seamlessly integrated with the federal Express Entry system. By receiving a provincial nomination, applicants earn an additional 600 points, giving their path to permanent residence a substantial boost.
