What is Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program?

The program invites applications every year from individuals belonging to different categories who are willing to relocate to and settle in Saskatchewan, Canada. The application is for people who aren’t a citizen of Canada. Under the program, the applicants deemed eligible by Saskatchewan will be nominated and recommended to the government for obtaining a permanent residency in the country. The government then invites the applicants to apply which is known as ITA or Invite to Apply.
Although, Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program is just one way via which people can obtain a Permanent Resident status in the country. It is recommended that people should also apply via IRCC (Immigration Refugees & Citizenship Canada).
