Frequently Asked Questions

Which SINP stream should I apply to?

Choose based on your situation: International Skilled Worker if you have work experience/job offer, Saskatchewan Graduate if you studied there, Entrepreneur if starting a business, or Family Sponsorship if you have family in Saskatchewan.

Do I need a job offer for SINP?

A job offer helps, but isn't always required. Saskatchewan Graduate and In-Demand Occupations streams don't require offers. However, having one significantly improves chances.

Why is SINP different from other PNPs?

Saskatchewan is unique because it doesn't require Education Credentials Assessment (ECA). This saves time and money compared to other provinces, and the application process is generally faster.

What's the total timeline for PR?

SINP processing takes 2-9 months depending on stream. After nomination, federal PR processing adds 6-8 months. Total timeline: 8-17 months.

Can I include my family?

Yes! Your spouse/common-law partner and dependent children can be included and processed together with your application.
