Recently, Canada announced the "Million Immigration Plan," which has been met with great enthusiasm by many high-net-worth individuals in China. With the current favorable trend in Canadian immigration policy, the immigration policies of various Canadian provinces have also become popular among many applicants. In particular, the Saskatchewan immigration policy has convinced many people to choose this province. Today, we will discuss the new 2017 Saskatchewan immigration policy.
There are several ways to immigrate to Saskatchewan, each with different requirements. For details, please see below:
Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) Skilled Worker
This is currently favored by many clients. Why? Similar to Express Entry (EE), quotas are released periodically. While not as frequent as EE, the scoring requirements are relatively lower, and the quotas are easier to secure. As long as you score at least 60 points and your occupation is on the Saskatchewan In-Demand Occupation List, you have a chance to secure a quota.

Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (Entrepreneur Category)
The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) is a provincial immigration program established through an agreement between the Saskatchewan government and the federal government. It aims to provide an alternative, fast-track pathway for applicants who aspire to establish and operate their own businesses in Saskatchewan. On May 23, 2015, Saskatchewan relaunched its policy, introducing an Expression of Interest (EOI) selection system. After screening and relevant reviews, applicants first obtain a work permit, travel to Saskatchewan to start a business, and upon meeting the government's business requirements, they can apply for provincial nomination and ultimately obtain Canadian permanent resident status.
【Application Conditions】
· Net worth of at least 500,000 CAD
· At least 3 years of business management or entrepreneurial experience in the past 10 years
· Minimum investment of 300,000 CAD in Regina and Saskatoon, or at least 200,000 CAD in other regions
Business Establishment Plan
· The established business must be consistent with the investment amount and business category stated in the assessment grid
· At least 33.3% ownership of the business, or a total investment of 1 million CAD or more
