What Happens After You Are Approved for Nomination

The SINP will enter the details of your nomination in the Express Entry system.

IRCC will ask you to confirm that you accept the SINP’s nomination. You have 30 days to accept the SINP nomination in the Express Entry system.

After you accept your SINP nomination, IRCC will invite you to apply for permanent residence. You have 60 days to submit this application. Be sure to follow the instructions from IRCC on how to submit your application. See Invitations to apply – Skilled immigrants (Express Entry) for more information.

IRCC will send you steps on medical examinations. They may also ask for more documents. You may have to attend an interview.

If you meet all the requirements, IRCC will issue permanent residence visas for you and your accompanying family members.

*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. For more information on this process, please see the Revise or Extend a SINP Nomination tab below.

Ineligible Applications

If your application has not been approved, then we will send you and/or your representative a letter by email notifying you that you are not eligible for nomination by the SINP.

An application will be considered ineligible if any of the following occurs:

You do not meet the program criteria;

You do not submit documentation that we requested within the timeframe set by the SINP;

You do not submit documentation with information that is verifiable; and

You do not establish that your intent to live and work in Saskatchewan is genuine and true.

If your application was deemed ineligible and you'd like to reapply, please note that:

You may reapply to the SINP only after the reasons for the ineligible decision have been addressed;

Applicants who have been suspended by either IRCC or the SINP cannot reapply to the SINP until the suspension has been lifted;

The resubmitted application will be subject to the same processing times and procedures as all incoming applications; and

Applicants who were refused by the SINP may still apply to IRCC under a federal immigration class, if they feel they meet the criteria.
