Family Members
Category
The SINP created the Family Members Category for immigrant
families living in Saskatchewan who want to help their family
members live and work in the province.
Applicants (persons who apply) to the SINP Family Members Category must have
a relative who has been living in Saskatchewan for at least one year. They must
be willing to provide applicants with assistance during the immigration process
and after they arrive in Saskatchewan. These relatives are called supporting
family members.
For more information on the roles and responsibilities of supporting family members,
see the Guide
for Supporting Family Members in Saskatchewan.
Spouses or common-law partners are not eligible to apply under the SINP Family
Members Category. They need to apply under the Citizenship
and Immigration (CIC) Family Class.
Eligibility
To be considered for the SINP Family Members Category, you must:
- Be between 18 – 49 years old.
- Have a signed affidavit of support from one or more family members living

- Have at least one year of work experience in your field of education or
training.
- Have the English language ability either to do the job you have been offered
by a Saskatchewan employer or to get a job in your field of education or
training.

Intend to find full-time, permanent work in Saskatchewan and have enough
money to live in the province for a short time without work after arrival
($10,000 for you and $2,000 for each accompanying family member).
