WHAT STEPS SHOULD YOU TAKE?
Step 1: Work and Job Offer in Saskatchewan
Before you can submit your application under the Saskatchewan Health Talent Pathway, you must have at least one (1) year of full-time work experience in the past three years (in your intended occupation); OR six (6) months work experience in the job with the employer that has provided you the Job Approval Letter. You must also have a full-time job offer from a Saskatchewan employer to work in your current occupation in Saskatchewan.
As a foreign worker in Canada, you first need to find an employer and secure the job for yourself (➨Page). The criteria for your job in Saskatchewan are explained in “Minimum Requirements”.
If you don't work in Saskatchewan, you'll need to contact the right organization to find out what studies, examinations and/or certifications you'll need to work here:
- Physicians: Contact the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan (CoPSS) (➨cps.sk.ca/imis).
- Nurses: Contact one of the following that applies to you:
- Other Health Professions: Related health professional association in Saskatchewan
Step 2: Submit Application to SINP
Now that you meet all the requirements, you can apply online (➨ immilib.com/SHTPEE-Apply) for yourself.
Complete the different sections of your online application. Scan and upload all your completed forms and required documents in PDF format onto your online application. Keep the originals for your records.
There is no provincial application fee under this stream.
If your application is complete, you will receive a letter or email confirming that your file has been received and accepted for processing.
A SINP officer will contact you by email if information is needed to assess your application and will tell you how to send the information.

If your application is approved, you will become a Provincial Nominee and receive a nomination package including you Provincial Nomination Certificate.
Step 3: Apply for Permanent Residence
If you are nominated by the province of Saskatchewan, then your next step is to submit a complete application for a permanent resident visa within six (6) months (➨Page).
You must submit your application using the IRCC Permanent Residence Portal (PR Portal) (➨immilib.com/PR-Online).
If your application is complete, you will receive a letter or an email confirming that your file has been received and accepted for processing. This letter is called the Acknowledge of Receipt (AOR) and will include your IRCC file number.
Once you have received your acknowledgement of receipt, you can create an online account and link your application to it. By creating an account, you will be able to receive email updates and a more detailed case status.
Apply for a Temporary Work Permit
Once you are nominated you'll receive a Work Permit Support Letter along with your Nomination Certificate. You can use this to apply for a temporary work permit without the need for an LMIA (➨immilib.com/LMIA) to allow you to live and work in Saskatchewan while you wait for permanent residency.
Step 4: Landing in Canada
If your application is approved, you will be asked to pay your right of permanent residence fee if you haven't already done so. You will receive a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR) and if you are from a country that requires a visa you will also be issued a permanent resident visa.
You will only become a Permanent Resident of Canada when you cross a Canadian port of entry. This is referred to as ‘landing in Canada' (➨Page).
You must land in Canada before the expiry date, which appears on your Canada Immigration Visa. Usually, the expiry date is one (1) year from the time medical examinations were completed. As this is not always the case, be sure to verify the expiry date as soon as the Canada Immigration Visa is received.
