How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?
The SINP enters the nomination in the Express Entry system; the candidate must accept it within 30 days, after which IRCC invites the candidate to apply for permanent residence, and that application must be submitted within 60 days. If the applicant meets all the requirements, IRCC issues permanent residence visas for the applicant and their accompanying family members. The official source does not state the validity period of the nomination or of any work permit, or how either is renewed.
