What is the SINP Entrepreneur Program? 


The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) administers the SINP Entrepreneur Program. The experienced business owners or senior business managers who seek to live in Saskatchewan are targeted by this stream. Successful candidates may launch a new business or buy an existing one and then start their day to day management duties. 


After managing a business successfully for 6 months the entrepreneur may be nominated for permanent residence status. Candidates can submit an expression of interest, after submitting a profile candidates are assigned a score based on SINP entrepreneur ranking system. The candidates with the most competitive score are invited to submit an application for the Saskatchewan Entrepreneur Program.

There are four stages to take:


  • Submission of an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the SINP.

  • Selection of Expressions of Interest and Invitation to Submit an Application

  • The EOI of a candidate is selected based on points. Those with the most points are selected at the end of each draw. The number selected is determined by the program's requirements.

  • Applications are processed in the order they are received once candidates are asked to apply.

  • Establishment of a business.

  • Nomination.

IRCC sets new wage rules for employers recruiting temporary foreign workers

IRCC sets new wage rules for employers recruiting temporary foreign workers From January 1, 2024, employers recruiting through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) must adjust foreign workers' wages to match updated prevailing rates, as per Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Although some employers are exempt, this usually requires a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). The Job Bank updates provincial wage differences annually.  Canada is inviting foreign workers to boost its economy amid labor shortages, with potential losses of $38 billion due to shortages, as the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) reported. Foreign workers in Canada are legally entitled to the same rights as Canadians, with employers required to ensure a fair work environment and access to healthcare. Even if the prevailing wage falls, the updated wage can never fall below the wage identified in the positive LMIA at any time during a TFW's employment period. Emplo...

Canada may recruit DACA recipients

Over 570,000 Dreamers are currently protected by DACA and are productive members of the American economy.  However, the program is in legal limbo as Congress has failed to authorize permanent protection, and Republican states are suing to terminate it.  Canada is actively recruiting immigrants with US work experience or education and could also attract DACA recipients, highly educated and qualified workers.  Canada's Express Entry system could be a viable option for Dreamers, who would be competitive candidates. If Canada poaches Dreamers, the US will face significant economic losses as Canada reaps the benefits of highly productive US-trained immigrants. Canada has stepped up its efforts in recent months to deliberately recruit immigrants with prior education or work experienc...
