Saskatchewan received 1,136 more spots for 2025 through the SINP, raising its total to 4,761.
Saskatchewan has received an increase of 1,136 nominations for 2025 under the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP). This boost brings the province’s total allocation for the year to 4,761.
A representative confirmed that one-quarter of these new spots will go to sectors like trucking, food service, accommodation, and retail. These industries had already reached their 25 percent cap by June. The program had started returning applications after that point. With the new increase, application processing in these fields will begin again.
At the start of the year, Saskatchewan faced a major setback when its allocation dropped by half compared to 2024. The federal government also introduced new rules. Under these changes, 75 percent of nominees must already be living in Canada. For the remaining 25 percent of spots, Saskatchewan is giving preference to healthcare, skilled trades, and agriculture workers.
The SINP also made adjustments earlier this year. The Entrepreneur and Farm Owner/Operator immigration streams closed. Eligibility for some Open Work Permit holders was removed. The Student Category also became more restricted. In addition, spas, salons, and pet care services (other than veterinarians) are no longer eligible for recruitment through the program.
Saskatchewan is not the only province to see changes to its immigration numbers. Newfoundland and Labrador secured an additional 1,000 spaces for its Provincial Nominee Program in February. The province also has 475 spaces through the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP), bringing its 2025 total to 2,525.
New Brunswick announced an increase of 1,500 spaces for its PNP in June, plus 1,250 spaces under the AIP. That province now holds a total of 4,250 immigration spots this year.
Earlier this month, Yukon gained 67 more nomination slots as well.
Meanwhile, provinces such as Ontario and British Columbia faced 50 percent cuts to their allocations. These reductions forced both provinces to close some immigration streams and limit the number of applications they could process in 2025.
