What is the eligibility for Saskatchewan PNP?

by Nationwide Visas Canada Immigration Services

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Scheme (SINP, or Saskatchewan PNP) is a provincial immigration programme that favours applicants with in-demand job skills and work experience. The Saskatchewan PNP provides applicants with a Saskatchewan Provincial Nominee Certificate, which allows them to apply for permanent residency in Canada. This is handled significantly more quickly than other provinces' Canadian immigration systems.

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program has four major immigration categories:

1. International Skilled Workers category

The SINP can designate skilled workers who desire to live and work in the province under this category. Education, skilled work experience, and language proficiency in English and/or French are among the requirements and qualities that prospective candidates must possess in order to settle successfully in Saskatchewan. The subcategories of the International Skilled Worker Category are as follows:

• Employment Offer

• Occupation In-Demand

• Saskatchewan Express Entry

2. Saskatchewan Express Entry

This subcategory is for skilled workers who want to live and work in Saskatchewan who are in the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Express Entry Pool, as well as those who fit all of this subcategory's eligibility conditions.

3. Saskatchewan Work Experience Category

This category is for foreign workers who have a valid work permit and want to apply for permanent residency through the Saskatchewan PNP. The following subcategories make up the Saskatchewan Experience Category:

• Skilled Worker with Existing Work Permit

• Semi-Skilled Agriculture Worker with Existing Work Permit

• Health Professionals

• Hospitality Sector Project

• Long-Haul Truck Driver Project

• Students

4. Entrepreneur Category

This category is for anyone who want to start and run a business in Saskatchewan. Applicants must be willing to take on an executive or managerial role in the company. This category's applications are based on an Expression of Interest (EOI) system. Candidates must first submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the SINP declaring their interest in owning or operating a business in the province. Then, candidates will get an Invitation to Apply if they are selected based on a list of program’s eligibility. The third and last step is an invitation of Provincial Nomination.

5. Farm Owner and Operator Category

This category is for people who desire to immigrate to Saskatchewan in order to acquire and run a farm. Candidates who are under the age of 40 can be considered for nomination in the Young Farmer Stream. Available equity, a refundable cash deposit, a necessary visit to Saskatchewan, farm operation knowledge and experience, and a practical plan for a commercial farming opportunity are all requirements for this stream.

What is the Saskatchewan PNP eligibility?

To apply for the Saskatchewan PNP, you must first select the category you want to apply for. Select the most appropriate category from the list of categories and subcategories to apply to Saskatchewan PNP. Because Saskatchewan Express Entry and Saskatchewan Occupation in-demand are the two most common PNP subcategories in Saskatchewan, you must verify the qualifying conditions for both.

The following are the general eligibility criteria’s/requirements for Saskatchewan PNP points calculator:

1. Occupation

Before applying for the Saskatchewan PNP nomination programme, make sure your profile/occupation is listed on the Saskatchewan occupation list. You should be aware that several of the professions require additional training, qualification, or licencing. Before finalising your NOC code, talk with a Canada immigration professional to gain a better grasp of the SINP program.

2. Education

A post-secondary credential relevant to the work must be held by the candidate. You must submit an educational credential assessment (ECA) from an approved organisation if you got your education outside of Canada.

3. Work Experience

In the last 10 years, you must have had at least one year of full-time paid work experience, and your work experience must be connected to the NOC code you select when applying for your Saskatchewan PNP.

4. Licensure or Job Training
