Express Entry Requirement decreases again

The latest draw has seen a substantial increase in the number of candidates invited to apply for a Canadian permanent residence. This increase in turn means that the number of points required for a candidate to receive an invitation has decreased.

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) offers you a way to immigrate to Canada.  Through the SINP, Saskatchewan invites residency applications from non-Canadians who want to make Saskatchewan their home, and nominates successful applicants to the federal government, so they can gain permanent residency in Canada.

The SINP doesn’t process applications from individuals that currently have a refugee claim in Canada.
