How does Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program Work?

Your first step is to qualify under one of the four categories offered by this program

  • International Skilled Worker Category is for skilled workers abroad who want to work and live in Saskatchewan.
  • Saskatchewan Experience Category is for foreign nationals who are currently living and working in Saskatchewan.
  • Entrepreneur Category is for entrepreneurs who plan to start a business in Saskatchewan.
