MLA stands for Members of the Legislative Assembly, on the following link you can check which one is responsible for your ara. http://www.legassembly.sk.ca/mlas/ Regina South I know is Bill Hutchinson (he is the one I contacted). It is not necessary for your prospect employer to accompany you...

I went with SINP.

Hi, I was googeling and also searched the forum but I couldn't find anywhere how long it takes when you want a Canadian Immigration Office to process your file. Anyone any ideas? Thanks in advance. JCS

Go to your local MLA and ask for help. Worked for me. IEC stands for International Experience Canada. I am from Germany (I know that the UK has the same program as well as other countries) and was able to use that program twice. Once as working holiday which got me my job in Regina and a second...

You should get a letter with your nomination for a work permit (no guarantee that you will get TWP approved; that's what SINP writes in that letter) and then you can go to the immigration office when you get to Canada and they should issue you the permit. I am not sure if you boths will get a...

If you meet all the requirements than you will be nominated. Getting a file number doesn't mean you will get nominated for sure, even after ten months. I got a request for more documents after ten months (I forgot my name and DOB on one of the forms and one form had changed a month after I...

Hi biometrix I applied from Regina and it took me 11 months and the help from my local MLA. Contact yours in Saskatoon and ask if he can help; they know who to contact and did it before. What kind of visa are you on at present?

Did all of the people you heard off apply in Saskatchewan? Saskatchewan is the province with the longest waiting times on PNP; minimum of 8 months these days and only if you're really lucky. Its only being processed quicker if you already have a work permit with LMO. In other provinces it can...

Did you apply under skilled worker or under family stream? Skilled worker take 10-12 months now so family would take way longer these days. I got my nomination (skilled worker) after 11 months and only with the help of my local MLA.

Hey, I couldn't see a post for October yet so I thought it would be a good idea to start one. If one already exists please let me know and remove this one. Thanks. I sent off my application yesterday and acording to my Tracking number they should get it on October 9, 2012.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any idea how a TB case would be treated with CIC if the person got it in Canada? I don't think that I have TB and didn't get the request for medicals yet but I am in Canada for two years now so if I would get or have it then from someone in Canada. Sheers JC

look on http://www.saskimmigrationcanada.ca/sinp decide what category you want to apply under and check if they say anything about refugee claimants. for skilled worker category for example they state directly that you wouldn't be eligible. My guess is that you can't apply in any category.

Do you really mean June 2012 or actually 2011? If you are talking about 2012 than you won't get your nomination this year. Processing times are at a minium of 8 months for skilled worker right now. Mine took even 11 months and was only finished because I contacted my local MLA (I was already in...

I applied in 2011 and got my nomination last week with the help of my local MLA because my old work permit runs out on Sunday. Try contacting yours as well. My Employer came with me to the appointment to explain his side (why they need me and such) to the case and it seemed like it made a good...

If it is mainly about the travels I got stemped in my passports then I should be fine, thanks. 11 months under SINP and only because my local MLA in Regina made some phone calls; otherwise I would be waiting some more months I think.

Hi, I just got nominated and started to get my application package ready. Why do they need to know about all of my travels in the last ten years? What if I don't remember them all or have the dates wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated. JCS

It was astonishing easy to get the work visa. I went on a day trip to Minot with my coworker in the states and on my way back I went to the border and got it within ten minutes. I finally can relax and enjoy my life in Canada again. If you're already in Canada and waiting nine or ten months...

Yes I am for one and a half years now. The only reason I finally got it is the MLA I talked to. Tomorrow I'll try and get my work permit at the border. I hope you'll hear very soon. It's so annoying to have to wait so long. I wonder why there are so many different times between the phone call...

Yay, just a few hours after my Employer was called I finally got the so long awaited email with my nomination. :-) My timeline: Application received : Oct 27th 2011 Got file number : Nov 2nd 2011 Request for Doc's : Sep 4th 2012 Phone call Employer: Sep 19th 2012 Nomination received...

After yet another phone call from my local MLA did SINP finally call my Employer. They asured her that they will do everything in their power to finish it by the end of September. She said that they have a few urgent cases they are working on right now. Hope it all will work out...
