Physicians

Overview

This sub-category is for Physicians who want to apply for permanent residency and:

  • Have the schooling and professional qualifications to work here.
  • Meet the SINP criteria for nomination.

Eligibility

To qualify you must:

  • Have a valid work permit issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC).
  • Have practiced as a physician in Saskatchewan for at least six months.
  • Have a permanent, full-time job offer that is:
    • Issued by a provincial health authority or the health education institution where you are currently working.
    • Verified with documents that describe your permanent arrangement to practice medicine in Saskatchewan. These could be:
      • A business plan or contract.
      • A partnership agreement.
      • Other documents describing your practice.
  • Have a valid SINP Job Approval Letter.

The SINP will also obtain a letter of support from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan (CoPSS). The letter must state your type of licence, expiry date, and CoPSS' support for you to become a permanent resident in Saskatchewan.

We may also ask for a letter from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada stating that you are licensed in a particular specialty.

The program criteria can change at any time, but we will use what was on this website when we get your application.

The federal government sets the amount of nominations the SINP can make every year. No application is guaranteed to be accepted.

What You Need to Know About Using Immigration Representatives

You do not need to use an immigration representative or consultant to apply to the SINP. If you want one, you must make sure they are a lawyer in Canada in good standing with a provincial law society or licensed by the Government of Saskatchewan. Visit Using an Immigration Representative for more information or see a list of approved immigration consultants. You can learn more about Saskatchewan's laws that protect foreign workers by visiting Protection for Immigrants and Foreign Workers.
