    The Saskatchewan Experience (In-SK) category is for foreign nationals who are currently working and living in Saskatchewan on a valid work permit. There are five sub-categories that foreign workers currently working and living in Saskatchewan may apply for under the SINP:

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

The nominee stays bound to the employment the nomination rests on: any change in employment status must be reported to the SINP within 10 business days or the Nomination Certificate can be revoked, and any change of marital or family status or of address must be reported before permanent resident status is received. The official source does not state what work the nomination authorises or whether family may accompany.

Limits of the record
  • The capture does not state what work the nomination itself authorises, whether the work permit is employer-specific for this sub-category, or whether family may accompany or work.
  • chars 17030-17412
    *You must contact the SINP to inform our office of any changes to marital or family status or change in address prior to receiving permanent resident status. If there has been any change in your employment status, then you must contact our office by email at [email protected] within 10 business days of the change in employment or risk having your Nomination Certificate revoked.

How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

The nomination certificate can be extended: the request must be made within 90 days of the nomination expiring and must explain the reason, and each extension lasts three months. At most two extensions may be granted for delays in submitting the permanent-residence application (only one of them for difficulty accumulating the IRCC processing fees); approval is not guaranteed and the SINP may grant shorter periods. The official source does not state the initial validity of the nomination or any work permit, or a longer-term residence direction.

Limits of the record
  • The six-month validity of the nomination certificate is stated in a separate sentence earlier on the page and is not inside this quotation.
  • The capture states no length for any work permit, only for the nomination certificate.
  • chars 20601-21557
    Requests for an extension must be made within 90 days of the nomination expiring. The expiry date for a nomination is located on the nomination letter. You must provide a detailed explanation as to the reason for the expiry in your request. An extension of a nomination certificate will be valid for three months. A maximum of two extensions may be granted for reasons that delayed the submission of a Permanent Resident Application (e.g. if IRCC requests an extension or requires re-application, if there are delays in obtaining a police certificate, a change to employment status, technical delivery errors on the SINP's part, etc.). Only one of those extensions may be granted to nominees who are having difficulty accumulating the funds needed to pay IRCC processing fees. There is no guarantee that a request for an extension and/or revision will be approved. The SINP reserves the right to provide shorter extension periods in some instances.
