SINP Student Category

SINP Students Category
Saskatchewan encourages educated youth graduating from Canadian universities and colleges to relocate to Saskatchewan after completing their studies. After 6 months of working at positions specified by the province, a graduate can apply for nomination for Permanent residence.

This method is an excellent way to fast track the process to sponsor ones family through the SINP family sponsorship category and IIBC can facilitate the entire process.

IIBC’s resettlement services make for an easy transition from any where in Canada to Saskatchewan. It is an excellent service that helps you call Saskatchewan home.

The Student Category allows eligible post-secondary graduates to apply for landed immigrant status under the SINP. There are two streams of the Student Category: the Post-Graduation Work Permit Stream and the Master’s and PhD Graduate Stream.

Post-Graduation Work Permit Stream

You may qualify to apply under the SINP Student Category: Post-Graduation Work Permit Stream if:
