Hey, I haven't heard anything like that but I would like to know where you heard that from because last year this time I was living in British Columbia and planning to move to Saskatchewan and heard the same about SINP but totally disregarded it as a rumour. Guess what? I was starting my job in Regina on 3rd of May,2012 and the rules changed on 1st May, 2012. I was devastated. This year I am studying welding in Regina and planning to move to Nova Scotia. I don't want to disregard all this as a rumour this time! So, please let me know what is your source and if you know anyone who is currently trying it on in Nova Scotia through the international graduate stream. Thanks.
