Here's all you need to know about Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) in Canada is an immigration program that allows individual provinces and territories within Canada to nominate people for permanent residence based on their specific economic, labour market, and demographic needs. The PNP is one of the ways through which Canada manages its immigration system alongside the federal Express Entry system. The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program is under the Canada PNP.
