Attention Filipinos in Canada, the Federal and Provincial immigration programs of Canada are constantly evolving. Let Mercan assist and guide you which among these immigration programs will best meet your needs
Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)
The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) allows Saskatchewan to nominate applicants, who qualify under criteria established by the province, to the federal government for landed immigrant status.
Once you are nominated by the province, you must submit your SPNP and federal immigration application package directly to the appropriate CIC visa office. CIC will conduct criminal, security and health checks on your application. It may also request an interview or additional information. CIC will make the final selection decision on whether you will be issued a permanent resident visa.
The process for applying to the SINP is different, depending on the stream and category you are applying under. Alberta’s Immigration Categories are:
Skilled Workers
This category is for skilled workers, professionals or managers who have a full-time, permanent job offer from a Saskatchewan employer. It is divided into three sub-categories: Skilled Workers/Professionals, Critical Occupations and Existing Work Permit.
Family Members
This category is for immigrant families living in Saskatchewan who want to help their family members live and work in the province. Supporting family members must provide settlement assistance to applicants and their dependents, which may include financial support.
Entrepreneurs
This category is designed to help entrepreneurs establish their businesses in Saskatchewan.
Farm Owners/Operators
This category is for individuals with proven experience in farming and substantial capital available to invest in a farming operation who intend to purchase and operate a farming operation in Saskatchewan.
Health Professionals
This category allows internationally-trained health professionals, who have been working in Saskatchewan for at least six months under a temporary work permit, to apply for landed immigrant status under the SINP. It is divided into three sub-categories: Physicians, Nurses and Other Health Professions.
Hospitality Sector Project
Under the Hospitality Sector Project the SINP can nominate foreign workers that are currently working in Saskatchewan in one of the following categories: Food/Beverage Server; Food Counter Attendant/Kitchen Helper; or Housekeeping/Cleaning Staff.
Long Haul Truck Drivers
This category allows Saskatchewan trucking firms to bring workers to the province for occupations requiring a high school diploma or on-the-job training under Service Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker policy.
Students
This category allows students who have graduated from a recognized, Saskatchewan post-secondary educational institution and worked for at least six months for a Saskatchewan employer under a CIC post-graduation work permit in a field related to their schooling to apply for landed immigrant status under the SINP.
