WHAT STEPS SHOULD YOU TAKE?
Step 1: Create Express Entry Profile
For a chance to be invited to apply under Saskatchewan International Skilled Worker: Express Entry Stream, you must create an Express Entry Profile (➨page) for yourself. Within your Express Entry profile make sure you have stated an interest in immigrating permanently to Saskatchewan.
Since you are eligible under one of the three (3) economic immigration programs (Federal Skilled Workers Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program or Canadian Experience Class), you will be accepted into the pool of candidates.
Step 2: Submit an Online SINP Expression of Interest
EOI is an online system where you submit information about yourself to the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program.
To complete the EOI, you’ll need information from some documents including passports, language test results, etc. But you don’t need to upload any documents.
After you submit the EOI, the system will calculate your score based upon the information you enter and your EOI will be placed in a pool for potential selection. The highest-scoring, qualified candidates in the Saskatchewan in-demand occupations will be invited to submit an application to the SINP.

If you’re not invited to apply within twelve (12) months of submitting your EOI, it will automatically expire and removed from the system. You can still create a new EOI. If you are able to acquire additional points after submitting your EOI, you will need to submit a new EOI.
Step 3: Submit Application to SINP
If you are invited to apply, you must submit your application within sixty (60) days by providing the application forms, application fee and all supporting documentation to SINP. If you received an Invitation to Apply (ITA) as an EOI candidate, you must login using the same account that you created for your EOI profile.
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.
Save, pay the fee and submit your application online.

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 receive a nomination certificate through the Express Entry portal. The SINP will also email you a nomination certificate that you should retain for your records.
You must accept the nomination within thirty (30) days after it is issued through the Express Entry portal in order to receive an Invitation to Apply for permanent residence.
When you accept a nomination, you are awarded 600 additional points in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) (➨page). This will help you quickly get invited to apply for permanent residence through your Express Entry profile.
Step 4: Apply for Permanent Residence
You can only apply for permanent residence (➨page) through Express Entry if you’ve received an invitation to apply from your online Express Entry profile.
Your Express Entry invitation to apply is valid for sixty (60) days only.
Apply for a Bridging Open Work Permit (if applicable)
For those of you who are in Saskatchewan on a valid work permit, once you submit your complete PR application, you may apply for a Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) (➨page). This will let you continue working on a valid work permit until your PR application is finalized.
Step 5: 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.
