The Province of Saskatchewan (Saskatchewan), abbreviated as the Province of Saskatchewan or the Province of Sand, abbreviated as SK. The name Saskatchewan is thought to have been coined by early Native Americans, referring to the fast-flowing rivers that run through the territory. Saskatchewan was created in 1905 as the Prairie Provinces, along with the neighboring provinces of Alberta and Manitoba. Saskatchewan has long been known for its agricultural and livestock production, and is an important breadbasket of Canada.

The Saskatchewan Nominee Program (SINP), one of the fastest ways to immigrate to Canada, was established on the basis of negotiations between the federal and provincial governments. Saskatchewan’s provincial nomination program is a priority category and takes longer to apply than other immigration categories.

On July 10, 2018 (Saskatsa time), SINP suddenly announced the implementation of EOI high selection from July 16, 2018. Since then, skilled immigrants in Saskatsa have ended the history of having to grab quotas. The current scoring system in Saskatsu is 110 points out of 10, with 60 points for passing, including 30 points for employers and 20 points for relatives in Saskatsu.
