Saskatchewan, one of Canada's prairie provinces, welcomes newcomers through the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP). This program allows the province to nominate candidates for permanent residence under three main categories:

1. **International Skilled Worker Category:** This category is further divided into several sub-categories:

   - **Employment Offer Sub-Category:** For skilled workers with a job offer in Saskatchewan.
     - Requirements include scoring a minimum of 60 points on the SINP points assessment grid, having at least one year of experience in the intended occupation, language proficiency (Canadian Language Benchmark 4 or higher), obtaining the appropriate licensure if required, and having an offer of permanent, full-time employment in Saskatchewan.
   
   - **Occupation-In-Demand Sub-Category:** For candidates with skills in occupations in demand in Saskatchewan.
   
   - **Saskatchewan Express Entry Sub-Category:** For candidates in the federal Express Entry arrangement.
   
   - **Hard-To-Fill Skills Pilot:** For skilled workers in specific occupations.
   
   - **International Healthcare Worker EOI:** For healthcare workers.
   
   - **Tech Talent Pathway:** For workers in the technology sector.

2. **Saskatchewan Experience Category:** This category includes sub-categories for individuals with existing work permits and specific work experience in Saskatchewan:
   - **Skilled Worker With Existing Work Permit Sub-Category**
   - **Semi-Skilled Agriculture Worker With Existing Work Permit Sub-Category**
   - **Health Professional Sub-Category**
   - **Long Haul Truck Drivers Sub-Category**
   - **Saskatchewan Student Stream Sub-Category**

3. **Saskatchewan Business Immigration:** This category is for entrepreneurs and business owners. It includes the following streams:

   - **Entrepreneur Stream:** Candidates and their families can start, obtain, or partner in a business in Saskatchewan. They must actively manage the business and live in the province.
   
     - Requirements include a minimum net worth of $500,000 legally acquired, at least three years of entrepreneurial or relevant management experience, and an investment of at least $300,000 in Regina or Saskatoon (or $200,000 in other Saskatchewan areas). Candidates enter a pool, receive a score, and the top candidates are invited to submit an application.
   
   - **International Graduate Entrepreneur Stream:** For international graduates who have completed their studies in Saskatchewan and wish to establish a business in the province.
   
   - **Farm Owners/Operators Stream:** For experienced farmers looking to establish a farming operation in Saskatchewan.

Applicants to the Entrepreneur Stream are initially issued a temporary work permit, and they become eligible to apply for provincial nomination after actively managing their business for a minimum of 6 months. The application process includes an Expression of Interest (EOI), an invitation to submit an application, and a nomination. Successful candidates can then apply for permanent residence.

Each sub-category has its specific requirements, and candidates should carefully review the eligibility criteria for the stream that best suits their qualifications and experience. Additionally, the SINP conducts periodic draws to invite candidates to apply, so staying updated on the latest news and requirements is crucial for potential applicants.
