What is the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)?
The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) is a provincial immigration program designed to attract skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and farmers to the province. Through SINP, eligible candidates can obtain a nomination from Saskatchewan, which significantly increases their chances of receiving Canadian permanent residency.
The program evaluates applicants based on factors such as education, work experience, language proficiency, age, and connection to Saskatchewan’s labor market. Saskatchewan is a highly sought-after destination for immigrants in Canada, thanks to its quality of life and strong growth opportunities. Understanding the SINP Points Calculator is key to evaluating your eligibility and improving your chances of selection.
