Saskatchewan PNP

Saskatchewan PNP

The Saskatchewan PNP is Saskatchewan’s Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) which enables applicants who are interested in Saskatchewan Immigration and have the skills and experience required by the province, to receive a Saskatchewan Provincial Nomination Certificate that expedites the Canadian Immigration and Permanent Residency process.

Canada’s PNP schemes including Saskatchewan PNP enable Provincial and Territorial governments in Canada to attract immigrants to their region.

If you choose to immigrate to Canada as a provincial nominee you must

  • Apply and complete the provincial nomination process of the Province or Territory you wish to settle in.
  • Each province and territory has its own provincial nomination process with varying requirements, except for Quebec, which has a different system from Canada altogether.
  • Demonstrate the skillset and ability to contribute to the economy of the province/territory you are applying to.
  • Receive a Provincial Nomination Certificate from the province/territory after completing its provincial nomination process.

After you receive the Provincial Nomination Certificate, you must:

  • Send an application to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) for Permanent Residence.
  • A CIC officer will assess your application based on the Canadian Immigration requirements. These applications will not be assessed based on the six selection factors of the Federal Skilled Workers Program.
