Saskatchewan announced that it will be expanding the requirements for workers who apply for permanent residency
Recently, Saskatchewan announced that the requirements for workers who apply for permanent residency (PR) through the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) will be expanded.
This is being done in an effort to welcome more immigrants who are looking to come to the province as permanent residents. According to the announcement, The Existing Work Permit stream will now be available to certain work permit holders working in Saskatchewan in intermediate and lower-skilled occupations to apply for permanent residency.
What Occupations Will Be Eligible Under This Expansion?
Previously, only newcomers in high-skilled occupations and designated trades were eligible for the Existing Work Permit stream. With this skill expansion to include lower- and intermediate-skilled sectors, newly eligible workers can now pursue permanent residency provided they have worked in Saskatchewan and meet the remaining program criteria, which includes meeting language requirements and having a permanent, full-time job offer.
Permit holders can now apply in an additional 279 occupations, including farm labourers, truck drivers, retail sales, nurse aides, and equipment operators.

- Qualifying permits include an open work permit/LMIA-supported work permit, francophone mobility work permit, or CUAET visa.

Understanding the SINP
