An Overview of SINP – How it Works?

Saskatchewan International Skilled Worker (SINP) being one of the most popular immigration pathways, offers different streams to workers, investors, and others. The eligibility requirements and application procedure differ for each stream. Candidates must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the program in order to apply for the SINP.

Candidates that show interest in moving to Saskatchewan online via a profile are considered under the points-based EOI system, known as the Saskatchewan points calculator. The profile contains details about their age, education, employment history, language skills, and other selection criteria for immigration.

The Saskatchewan EOI system functions in two steps. Candidates must first fulfill the prerequisites in order to be accepted into the program. A legitimate language test result, evaluation of educational qualifications (where applicable), and suitable work experience in a profession in demand in Saskatchewan are among these prerequisites.

After applying, they will be evaluated using a points system called the SINP points calculator. Those who satisfy the requirements are invited to submit an application for provincial nomination. Later, candidates can apply for Canada PR with the Canadian federal government after receiving a nomination from the SINP. If you get the invitation to any of these two streams, you need to submit your application within 60 days.
