SINP-B
Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) - Business Category
The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) allows the province to nominate candidates to the Federal Government for permanent residence.
As the economy of Saskatchewan continues to grow, there is a desperate need for investment for rapid financial growth. People from all around the world are taking increasingly more interest in Saskatchewan since the province’s requirements are more attractive than others.
With the closure of the eastern province's programs similar to Saskatchewan, previously interested investors are looking at Saskatchewan as a viable alternative. International Immigration and Business Consulting (IIBC) can facilitate the entire immigration process for investors, including applications, proposals, exploratory visits, business and resettlement plans, including purchases of existing businesses.
There are two main streams under the business immigration category:
- Entrepreneur
- Farm Owners & Operators
