Applying for Permanent Residence

Those students who wish to immigrate and stay in the province of Saskatchewan and are working for a Saskatchewan employer under the Post-graduate Work Permit have an opportunity to be nominated by the Province of Saskatchewan under the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP).

SINP Student Category

As a provincial nominee, an applicant will receive:

  • application processing times that are faster than other federal immigration classes; and
  • assistance from Provincial Immigration Officers who are readily available to explain program requirements and processes

You may qualify to apply under the SINP Student Category if you have:

  • graduated from recognized post-secondary educational institution in Canada
  • worked for a Saskatchewan employer for a minimum of six months under a Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) post-graduation work permit
  • a current, permanent, full-time job offer from your employer.

Information sessions for the Student Category are facilitated by the Saskatchewan Immigration Branch, Advanced Education and Employment at the University Of Saskatchewan. Contact the ISO for details.

Canadian Experience Class

The Federal Government has recently created a new category for immigrating to Canada that is set up specifically for successful graduate international students. Those who have completed a degree, diploma or certificate and have gained Canadian skilled-work experience may be eligible to apply for permanent residence under the Canadian Experience Class.
