Saskatchewan is one of Canada’s prairie provinces known for its lush farmlands and lucrative job opportunities, particularly in areas of agriculture, forestry, fishing, manufacturing, mining, and energy as well as its tourism and hospitality sectors. As a rural community, Saskatchewan is often overlooked by most, as skilled workers tend to flock to bigger cities, unaware of the abundance of job opportunities that this province has to offer. Saskatchewan is one of the provinces that has almost every in-demand job in Canada. In fact, it has so many job opportunities that it does not have an in-demand occupations list but an ineligible occupations list instead.
The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) was designed to help address the labour gap that the province is currently facing. It has four main categories: the International Skilled Worker category, the Saskatchewan Work Experience category, the Entrepreneur Category as well as the Farm Owner and Operator category. The International Skilled Worker category has so many job opportunities that it has an excluded occupation list stating which occupations do not qualify for this immigration category.
This category is for semi-skilled agricultural workers who are already employed in Saskatchewan for at least 6 months, have a valid full-time job offer and would like to apply for permanent residence in Saskatchewan. Eligible occupations include:
