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.
