the CanadaVisa Team - 19 May, 2016
The government of Saskatchewan has made a number of important updates to the International Skilled Worker portion of its Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP). The SINP is Saskatchewan’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).
Through this program, prospective immigrants with the skills and experience targeted by the province may receive a Saskatchewan Provincial Nomination Certificate, which will allow that foreign national to apply for Canadian permanent residence. Over recent years, Saskatchewan has become a more popular destination for newcomers to Canada, thanks to a growing economy and high standard of living.
The International Skilled Worker stream of the popular SINP is divided into the three sub-categories. These are the latest updates updates for each sub-category:
