If you are one of the people who dream about living a high-quality life, working high-wage jobs & enjoying a pure, fresh breath of air, move to Saskatchewan through the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program.
The province has a strong economy with a main focus on agriculture & natural resource industries including forestry & fishing. If you have experience in these professions, apply for a job.
In terms of immigration, Saskatchewan has always been successful, welcoming around 3,000 – 4,000 newcomers every single year. Now, the number has increased to 15,000 & this can be your chance to apply & move to Saskatchewan from India as a skilled worker with your family.
Saskatchewan PNP and International Skilled Worker Category
Launched back in 1998, the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) was designed to address the labour shortages & economic needs of the province.
After all the years, we can see it has been a huge success. 7/10 new immigrants to the province are admitted through the SINP. The province also has a high employment rate, which makes it an attractive choice for Indian skilled professionals.
SINP is one of the easiest PNPs to move to Canada & enjoy the benefits of being a permanent resident.
To make things easier for newcomers, Saskatchewan has an enhanced sub-category & many base sub-categories. It’s called Saskatchewan Express Entry & is under the International Skilled Worker Category.
