Note: Beginning January 1, 2011, applicants to the SINP Family Members Category will be required to show that they are able to economically establish themselves in Saskatchewan by either demonstrating that they have $10,000 for themselves and $2,000 for each accompanying family member or an offer of permanent, full-time employment. Previously, these funds could be in the supporting family member’s name. The change ensures the funds are in the applicant’s name.
This category is for immigrant families living in Saskatchewan who want to help their skilled and educated family members come to work and live in the province.

For more information on the roles and responsibilities of supporting family members, see the Application Guide for the Family Members Category.
