The Government of Saskatchewan makes the final choice on SINP nominations. When successful candidates apply for permanent resident status with IRCC, they’ll be identified as SINP nominees.
You can apply to the SINP if you meet the program criteria. Be sure to complete accurate applications and provide valid documentation.
Important Information
As an applicant, you can choose to work with an immigration consultant. However, no immigration consultant is given an immigrant quota from the Province of Saskatchewan.

Work Permit and LMIA
LMIA stands for Labor Market Impact Assessment. LMIA is a document that an employer-based in Canada needs when hiring a foreign worker. This can only be done when the employer can prove that a local Canadian or a Permanent Resident is not available for the job. An approved or a positive LMIA document can be considered as a confirmation letter. Employers need to apply for LMIA and once they get the approval, they can hire a foreign worker for the job.
The worker in question will have to apply for a work permit once he or she gets an LMIA. Additionally, the foreign worker will also need a job offer letter from the employer, a copy of the LMIA, a contract, and the LMIA number. Once all the documents are submitted, the foreign worker will get a work permit.
Due to the impact of COVID-19 and travel restrictions, getting a work permit may take longer to process. See how the application may be affected.
Where to Look for Work
Job openings are usually advertised on websites, newspapers, job fairs, and community bulletin boards like every other country. Keep in mind that it is against the law to charge a potential employee for helping to find work. The Foreign Worker Recruitment and Immigration Services Act (FWRISA) protects every immigrant coming to Canada.

Gaining Canadian Work Experience
Immigrants with Canadian work experience will always have an edge over those who do not. Employers seek workers with Canadian work experience because they want to ensure their employees are familiar with how things are done in Canada. Customer interaction should be done in a way that is acceptable in the Canadian culture and handle equipment, which is commonly used in the country.
Getting Canadian work experience is not easy. However, it is achievable through:
- Part-Time & Temporary Work – causal jobs that are less than 30 hours a week are part-time jobs. These can be done while studying or caring for the family. Temporary jobs will have a start and an end date and often be available in specific seasons. They are enough to get Canadian work experience and a good hourly wage.
- Work Placement Programs – these opportunities provide immigrants to gain Canadian work experience, however, these are not paid jobs. This is a good way to gain valuable contacts for future job and business opportunities in Saskatchewan.

- Health Careers in Saskatchewan – the official recruitment agency for Saskatchewan that lists opportunities in regional health authorities and Saskatchewan Cancer Agency.

Getting a Work Permit
Not being a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident makes it illegal for you to work in Canada without a work permit. Here is how to apply for a work permit:
Temporary Work Permit

- The employer will apply for LMIA if one is not available.
- Once the LMIA is available, the employer can send you a contract and a job offer letter.

- Once IRCC approves your application, you will be granted a work permit and you can work in Saskatchewan temporarily.
Working temporarily may not be a good option for many. Therefore, if you meet the eligibility criteria, you can apply for permanent residence through the SINP or Express Entry program.
Permanent Work Permit
When applying from outside Canada, the following steps can help you obtain a work permit and become a permanent resident in Saskatchewan:
- Look for a job in Saskatchewan that meets the eligibility criteria of the SINP International Skilled Worker Category.
- Apply through SINP and on meeting the criteria, you will be nominated through the SINP selection process.
- A SINP nomination certificate will be required when applying for a work permit through LMIA.
- Once you get the work permit, you can legally move to Saskatchewan temporarily.
- The next step is the submission of the permanent residence application to IRCC through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP).
- After reviewing, IRCC will approve and issue a Permanent Resident Visa.
Accompanying Family Members
While you are working in Canada on a permanent work permit, your family can accompany you or visit you in Canada. However, if your spouse or children wish to work while they are in Canada, they must apply for their work permits.
Get more information from IRCC’s Help Centre on accompanying family members.
