In the Sask. guideline is said:
How to Apply
Step 1: Read and review the Application Guide and checklist for instructions on completing your application.
Step 2: Obtain all the required supporting documents. For a detailed description, please see the Supporting Documents section of this guide.
Step 3: Complete the required federal forms and any other federal forms that apply to your situation.
Step 4: Review and organize your completed forms and supporting documents to ensure you have a complete application package.
Step 5: Apply online at http://www.saskimmigrationcanada.ca/ Scan and upload all your completed forms and supporting documents in PDF format onto your electronic application. Keep the originals for your records.
Step 6: Ensure that you save and submit your application online.

So we need to fill all the federal forms with SINP application. Correct me if I am wrong. Where can we find this forms?
As of now nothing is clear I think we have to wait one more week for any updates from SINP officials

Hi! I'm a newbee here. I'm a Filipino who is interested to migrate in Canada. I have relatives (uncle & cousins) living in Saskatchewan who is willing to support me and my dependents. I've read about the SINP but I just want to clarify regarding the job offer which is one of the requirements in the migration process under Family referral. I am aware that the processing time of the application would be approximately 22 months. What if the job offer is urgent? And what is the procedure for the job approval from SINP for the employer? I hope anybody here can give comments on my inquiries. Thanks a lot! :)
If you have the job offer with positive LMO go for work permit once you are there will have plenty of options to chose.
IF you are applying till 31st December 2013 it will be on average 22 months probably it depends on case to case....this time is the maximum period for process, no one know regarding minimum time should be answered by the people who have applied.

Hi all, quick clarification.... As per SINP website it read as:

"The SINP will accept 250 applications in 2014 from applicants without an offer of employment whose high skilled occupation is in demand in Saskatchewan. These occupations must have “good” or “fair’ employment prospects as per Saskatchewan’s Detailed Occupational Outlook (2013-2017). The list of in-demand occupations will be available in December 2013."

Did anyone found Saskatchewan’s Detailed Occupational Outlook (2013-2017). Or perhaps we just need to identify the applicable NOC from the "Appendix A – Higher Skilled Occupations with Good/Fair Prospects" as per the "Application Guide for the International Skilled Workers Category".

Not sure if both (outlook and Appendix) means the same. Any one any idea on this?

Yes its the same. whatever occupations they mentioned in the appendix are the one. I know the list is huge vs only 250 application without job offer. they should have targeted at least 1000.

May be and lets hope, they increase the no. of applications under that. Can't imagine how many applications they will receive for 250.

Thanks, very much appreciate your response on this.

"Your settlement plan
Based on your answers, this information can help make your transition to life in Canada easier.
Instructions

Welcome to your personalized settlement plan. This will help you get the best possible start on your new life in Canada.
For convenience, the plan is broken down into checklists for before you leave, crossing the border, and your first few weeks, as well as other personalized information by topic, such as Money, Connecting, and Culture. If you prefer you can also view the entire plan on a single page.
Print or email your plan so that you have a copy. If you leave this settlement plan inactive for more than 20 minutes, you won't be able to come back to your answers and will need to start again.
Once in Canada, find an immigrant-serving organization near you and bring a copy of your settlement plan so that they can assess your needs more quickly. An immigrant-serving organization can give you a more personalized experience and support you with your next steps.
Your profile

Below are your answers to the Living in Canada questionnaire. You should make sure they accurately reflect your situation. If any answer is wrong, you can use the back button to make changes. Any time you make changes to your profile, your settlement plan will be updated.
Make sure you print this plan and bring it with you to an immigrant-serving organization. This profile will help them to understand your needs more quickly. You can also email it to yourself.
You have identified yourself as:

from BANGLADESH
a permanent resident
not yet in Canada
moving to Saskatchewan
having no children under 18 living with you
Your needs include:

finding a job
finding a school program or adult education
Before you leave

Learn about life in Canada and about the rights and responsiblities of residents in Canada.
Gather all of your important documents. Consider having them translated into English or French before you arrive. You will need these documents to enter Canada, to get identification papers, or to work and go to school.
You may not be able to get taxpayer-funded health insurance coverage right away. Buy private health insurance for that time.
Plan where you will stay during your first days in Canada. If you need temporary housing make arrangements to stay with family or friends or book a hotel in a central location.
Canada is a large country with many places to live, each with its own weather, culture, services and more. Choose a city or town that's right for you.
Consider starting the process of getting your education credentials recognized in Canada.
Consider starting the process of getting your education and work credentials recognized in Canada.
Use the Planning to work in Canada? workbook to gather information about living and working in Canada.
Use the Working in Canada tool to get a report with information about the job you are interested in. Find out if it is regulated or unregulated.
Crossing the border

You can prepare to cross the border into Canada by making sure that you understand all of the steps that are involved, and that you have all of the important documents that you and your family will need.
At the border you will need to present: a Canadian immigrant visa, a Confirmation of Permanent Residence, and a valid passport or other travel document, for yourself and each family member traveling with you.
You will also need to present two (2) copies of a detailed list of all the personal or household items you are bringing with you (PDF document), and two (2) copies of a list of items that are arriving later and their money value.
You will have two border crossing interviews. Be prepared to talk about your official documents and what you're bringing to Canada with you.
Make sure you know what you can and cannot bring into Canada.
If you are bringing CAN$10,000 or more (or the equivalent in foreign currency), you must report it to the CBSA.
Your first weeks in Canada

Here are some important steps that you should take in your first few weeks to start your life in Canada.
Use the “Find services” tab to find immigrant-serving organizations in your community. They can help you with many of the steps in your settlement plan including language training and finding work.
Apply for Canadian photo identification, such as a driver's licence, which you should carry with you at all times.
Apply for a Social Insurance Number (SIN), a nine-digit number that you need to get a job in Canada or to have access to government programs and benefits.
Apply for a public health insurance card so that you can get taxpayer-funded health care. In Saskatchewan, this is called a health card. Your work or study permit must be valid for at least six months or you must be a permanent resident to be eligible for a health card.
If you do not receive one in the mail within six months of arrival, apply for a permanent resident card. This is an important travel document and your proof of permanent resident status.
Rent or buy a home or explore other housing options.
Open a Canadian bank account and apply for a credit card so you can begin to establish your credit history in Canada. This will make it easier for you to get a loan or mortgage in Canada.
Exchange your money for Canadian currency at any Canadian bank. Most businesses in Canada accept Canadian money or a credit card.
Get a map of your area and find out about public transportation.
Find immigrant services

Once in Canada, it is a good idea to visit an immigrant-serving organization.

The guide says:
"Settlement Plan
You are required to complete Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s online settlement planning tool. The Living in Canada tool will help you build a customized settlement plan based on your current situation. Once you fill out the online questionnaire, please email the plan to yourself. Once you receive the plan by email, attach a copy to your SINP application."

So I think. you just need to email this to yourself, create a PDF and attach it to the application. That should do the trick.

Does anyone know if an applicant to the SINP, once approved to immigrate, has a requirement that they live and work in Saskatchewan for x amount of time before being allowed to relocate?

(making self-assessment for a relative back home, would not score points under "Connection to Saskatchewan-Adaptability" since there are no relatives).

Thanks!

Anyone submitting the proof of funds where the main applicant is the joint owner of the investments? e.g. Primary applicant having a fixed deposit along with other joint owners (parents) who are not the applicants under SINP? Any advice if this makes sense or SINP would not consider such funds and need only under the name of applicant / spouse?
Hope this email from SINP office helps few guys who had question around proof of funds and 3 months requirements around that.

email from SINP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Immigration ECON <immigration @ gov.sk.ca>
Date: December 19, 2013 at 4:56:30 PM CST
Subject: RE: Clarifications on SINP - Proof of Funds

Please be advised that the SINP will not accept joint bank accounts with parents. It must be from an account in the applicant or spouse's name and these funds must be stable for three months prior to submitting your application as well as throughout the application process.

To: Immigration ECON
Subject: Clarifications on SINP - Proof of Funds

Hello Immigration officer, Greetings!

I have couple of clarifications with regards to the SINP program changes effective Jan. 2, 2014 and was hoping to clarify with you.
As per the application guide around proof of funds, it is clearly stated that:

- In your application you are required to submit detailed documentation to verify three consecutive months of stable funds, including a detailed history of funds.

- Please note that the settlement funds must be in the principal applicant's and/ or spouse's name.

In our home country, it is very common practice to invest the funds jointly with parents esp. when the primary applicant is a bachelor (single) until he / she gets married. Keeping that into consideration, primary applicant may wish to submit the proof of funds (bank statements, fixed deposit receipts, etc.) from the past months wherein primary applicant is shown as the first and / or joint owner of the funds along with his/her parents. Would that meet the application criteria?

However, in case if being a joint owner does not meet the application criteria, primary applicant may wish to transfer the funds into his / her sole names (or joint with spouse if married) at this current date. Further all the relevant proofs for the transactions related to this transfer can be submitted at the time of application in January without waiting for the expiry of the 3 months from the date of transfer. Would this be a valid course of action to meet the application criteria around proof of funds?

Please advise with your opinion. Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Thanks so much!

Hello guys

I hope everybody follows the SNIP guide carefully,

For just gentle reminder

please be careful about the following things.

1. if your occupational education and work experience is in a regulated
profession, you will be required to obtain the appropriate Saskatchewan
qualification recognition to be able to work in that profession.

2.If you intend to work in an occupation that requires licensing or certification in
Saskatchewan, you must contact the provincial, national and/or industrial regulatory
association before applying for nomination to verify that you will be able to meet
licensing or certification requirements.

Refer the following website
http://www.saskimmigrationcanada.ca/is-my-occupation-regulated/

All engineering departments will come under Regulated professions

Gansta

But its still not clear for IT professionals. There is a link for Information System Professionals. But links leading to the other web pages are not clear.

As you rightly pointed out only Engineering, Hospitality and Health professionals require regulation. However for IT professionals, it says you can licence yoursleves. Do you or anybody have any idea whether this is mandatory or not while we submit our SNIP application
