Saskatchewan Resumes PNP Intake With 4 Key Policy Changes

Saskatchewan has officially reopened its Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) after a brief pause, bringing in four significant updates. These changes aim to streamline immigration processes and better align with the province's labour market needs . Over view of Recent SINP Changes

In March 2025, the Government of Saskatchewan announced the lifting of the temporary pause on new Job Approval Forms (JAFs) for the SINP, effective immediately. This resumption comes with several pivotal updates designed to align the program with the province's labour market needs and federal immigration allocations. ​

Key Updates to the SINP

1. Prioritization of Key Sectors for Overseas Applicants: Applications from overseas candidates will now focus on the healthcare, agriculture, and skilled trades sectors. Recruitment for other sectors will primarily consider candidates already residing in Canada on valid temporary visas
2. Caps on Specific Industries: Nominations for the accommodation, food services, retail trade, and trucking sectors are capped at 25% of the total annual nominations, emphasizing the province's commitment to high-demand industries
3. Exclusion of Certain Occupations: Occupations within spas, salons, and pet care services (excluding veterinarians) are no longer eligible for recruitment through the SINP, streamlining the program to focus on critical labour market needs. ​
4. Closure of Entrepreneurial Categories: The Entrepreneur, International Graduate Entrepreneur, and Farm Owner/Operator categories have been permanently closed, reflecting a strategic shift in the province's immigration focus. ​These adjustments aim to ensure that Saskatchewan's immigration strategies effectively support its economic priorities and address labour shortages in essential sectors.​
