The first step in processing your application is called the pre-screen. During a pre-screen your application will be checked for completeness. Your application will be considered complete if all of the documents listed in OASIS have been submitted including proof to support the points claimed in your EOI profile.
If your application is complete then it will be moved on for further assessment.
If your application is incomplete, then your application will be closed and you will receive a letter by email listing the documents missing from your application. An application is considered incomplete when there are missing or invalid supporting documents (e.g. blank, partially completed, unidentifiable or irrelevant documents) or an applicant does not provide documentation to support points claimed in their EOI profile (e.g. documentation to prove Connections to Saskatchewan).
A closed application cannot be re-opened or be considered for second review. If your application is closed, then you will have to start the application process again if you choose to re-apply.
Criteria Assessment and Recommendation
The second step in processing your complete application is called the assessment. During the assessment your complete application will be reviewed to determine if you provided the information required to meet the criteria of the category that you applied under.
If we require more information from you to process your application, then we will send you a letter by email requesting you to submit the information and/or documents directly on the OASIS system. You have 10 days from the date of the email request to submit the information and/or documents on the OASIS system. If we do not receive the information and/or documents within 10 days, then we will continue to assess your application. The absence of the information that was requested may mean that the SINP cannot verify that you meet requirements which may result in your application being deemed ineligible.
Note that by submitting an application to the SINP, you have given us permission to verify the information that you have provided without additional approval.
Decision
The final step in processing your application is called the decision. Based on the assessment we will determine whether you are eligible for nomination under the SINP.
Withdrawing an Application
You may withdraw your application at any time unless a Program Integrity Review is underway.
Your request to withdraw your application must be sent to immigration@gov.sk.ca and include the reason(s) for the request.
If a Program Integrity Review of your application is underway when we receive your request to withdraw your application, then the SINP may deny your request until the investigation of your application has concluded.
Nominated Applications (Employment Offer & Occupations In-Demand)
If your application has been approved then we will send you and/or your representative a nomination package by email that will include:
We will notify the Centralized Intake Office (CIO), Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), of your nomination. You must submit your application for PR to IRCC within six months of being nominated by the SINP.
IRCC will also conduct an assessment of your application including health, security and criminal record reviews before issuing visas to you and your accompanying family members.
IRCC may request any additional information from you at any time during the application process.
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 immigration@gov.sk.ca within 10 business days of the change in employment or risk having your Nomination Certificate revoked.
