Saskatchewan immigration program categories available – (1) International Skilled Worker (ISW), (2) Worker with Saskatchewan Work Experience, (3) Entrepreneur, and (4) Farm Owner and Operator.

Invitations to apply issued by the SINP, in the provincial draws held from time to time, go out to candidates under the Occupations In-Demand and Saskatchewan Express Entry streams that come under the ISW category.

The SINP’s ISW category is for skilled workers living overseas that want to live and work in Saskatchewan as permanent residents.

Three separate sub-categories are available that international skilled workers might apply under. The specific requirements of the sub-category must be met by the individual to be eligible.

What are the Saskatchewan PNP’s International Skilled Worker (ISW) streams available?
