The Canadian province of Saskatchewan has reopened each of its categories within the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP).

Through this program, prospective immigrants with the skills and experience targeted by the province may obtain Canadian permanent resident status after receiving a nomination certificate from Saskatchewan.

The SINP was one of the most popular Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) throughout 2015, with 2016 expected to see a similar level of demand for immigration to Saskatchewan.
