This program is for businesspersons who would like to start, own or partner in a business in Saskatchewan.

How to apply?

Submit an expression of interest to the SINP and attend an interview. If you were successful in the assessment stage, you will be sent a Business Performance Agreement (BPA) to review and sign. SINP will then issue you a SINP Entrepreneur Approval Letter and will instruct you to apply for a temporary work permit to IRCC. You need a temporary work permit to come to Saskatchewan and start your business. To apply for TWP you will need to register at IRCC Employer Portal as the employer of your own business (self-employed person) and apply as LMIA exempt (exemption code C11). Once you get your work permit, you will need to move to Saskatchewan and start your business. You must run the business for at least 6 months to be eligible to apply for nomination. Then, apply for nomination through the SINP Online System. If your nomination was approved, you will receive a nomination certification and instruction letter on how to apply for permanent residence to IRCC.
