Saskatchewan Provincial Nominee Program

The name ‘Saskatchewan’ is derived from an anglicized version of a word in the Cree language that stands for “swiftly flowing river”.

Saskatchewan is one of the three Prairie Provinces of Canada. Alberta and Manitoba are the other two.

With British Columbia entering the picture, the four provinces together form the Canadian Western Provinces.

Bounded by the US states of Montana and North Dakota to the south, Saskatchewan has the Northwest Territories sharing the border in the north. While Manitoba lies towards the east, Alberta makes up the neighbouring Canadian province in the west.

Saskatchewan enjoys the unique distinction of being the only Canadian province that has fully artificially made boundaries, that is, not formed by a natural feature. The province is one of the two Canadian provinces that do not have a saltwater coast.

Saskatchewan is the sixth-most populous province in Canada, the fifth-largest of them all in terms of area.

A part of Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program [PNP], SINP Canada refers to the PNP of Saskatchewan, that is, the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program [SINP].

An individual looking to migrate overseas to Canada and settle within Saskatchewan after acquiring their Canadian permanent residence would have to go through the Saskatchewan immigrant nominee program.
