The Saskatchewan PNP program allows overseas workers to immigrate to Canada. The Saskatchewan PNP, also known as the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) enables Saskatchewan to hire skilled professionals who want to work and settle in Saskatchewan. The invitations sent to applicants are based on the province's labour market and economic demands. To know if you qualify for the Saskatchewan PNP, you must calculate your CRS points in the SINP points calculator.
