Saskatchewan attracts thousands of immigrants through its Nominee Program

What’s the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)

On March 16, 1998, the government of Canada and Saskatchewan signed the Canada-Saskatchewan Immigration Agreement, which established a two-year pilot program (Provincial Nominee Program). The Provincial Nominee Program enables Saskatchewan to recruit immigrants with the potential to make a significant contribution to the provincial economy.
