Immigration to Saskatchewan for skilled workers with employment offer

People who have found work in Saskatchewan can immigrate through the International Skilled Worker – Employment Offer stream.

The International Skilled Worker — Employment Offer stream of Saskatchewan's provincial program allows professionals who have received an offer of employment in the province in certain professions to immigrate.

To be eligible to apply for the International Skilled Worker — Employment Offer stream, you must meet the following requirements:
