What is SINP Program (Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program)

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) is a provincial immigration program designed to address labor shortages and support economic growth in Saskatchewan. This program allows the province to nominate skilled workers, entrepreneurs, and other individuals who want to live and work in Saskatchewan permanently. The SINP was created to attract immigrants with the skills, education, and experience required to meet the province’s specific labor market needs, ensuring that Saskatchewan can maintain its economic development by welcoming talent from around the world.

How SINP Works
