Canadian Immigration to Saskatchewan in the Family Category


Prospective immigrants to Saskatchewan may consider the category of the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)which facilitates family immigration. If the prospective immigrant is successful under this category, it will result in the issuing of a provincial nomination certificate.

The family category under the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) is designed to assist Saskatchewan’s immigrant families who wish to sponsor eligible family members to the Saskatchewan region.

Successful immigrant applications under this scheme pave the way for successful Canadian immigration to the province of Saskatchewan and the gaining of permanent residency status. In addition it meets the needs of attracting and retaining needed foreign workers.
