According to the latest news released by the official website of Saskatchewan, Canada: starting from January 2, 2014, the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) will implement a new policy. The provincial nomination applications received in 2013 (until December 31, 2013) will continue to be processed according to the current standards.
The new policy of the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) mainly includes the following aspects:
1. Immigration cases that are accepted again starting next year will all utilize the new Online application system to expedite the approval process. This paperless system aims to alleviate paperwork pressure and is expected to improve review efficiency, which means starting next year, all provincial nomination applications must begin the application process through online registration;
2. Reclassification of immigration categories. All immigration categories will be divided into three types: (1) Skilled Workers (experienced skilled workers); (2) Experience Class Immigrants (students/work visa transitioning to immigrants); (3) Entrepreneur Immigration (investment immigration).
3. A revised scheme for skilled workers and experience class immigrants has been announced. The scoring criteria and specific details for applicants will be published in December; the quota for investment immigrants will increase from 4,450 in 2013 to 4,725.
