Program overview
SINP Express Entry for Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) is a program designed for individuals who have entered the federal Express Entry (EE) pool and wish to settle in Saskatchewan. If you have entered the federal EE pool under the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program, it means you have met the minimum language requirement of at least CLB 7 in English, FSW score of 67 or above.

Saskatchewan regularly invites applicants based on their EOI score from highest to lowest.
