Saskatchewan getting more autonomy over immigration
Saskatchewan is taking more control over immigration.
According to the provincial government, the federal government has agreed to reduce duplication in the processing of Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) nominations.
The federal Ministry of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada is amending regulations and the Canada-Saskatchewan Immigration Agreement, giving the province the power to assess a candidate’s ability to economically establish and their intent to reside in the province.
As well, the federal ministry has agreed to increase the annual allocation of provincial nominees for 2023, as well as announcing increased notional allocations for 2024 and 2025.
