Note #1:
Note #2:
Before moving on to the next step, review and organize your completed forms and supporting documents make sure that you have a complete application package.
Applicants can only have one active application with the SINP at any one time. Multiple applications will not be accepted.
Applicants can only have one active application with the SINP at any one time. If you are found to have more than one application in process, then you will be given 10 days to withdraw all but one application. If no response is received within the deadline provided, then the SINP will process your most recent application and all other applications will be closed. A closed application cannot be re-opened or be considered for Second Review.
A Nomination Certificate is valid for six months. An amendment to a Nomination Certificate includes a time extension and/or a revision.
If you'd like to amend your Nomination Certificate you must submit a Request for Revision and/or Extension Form to the SINP. The request must come from you or your authorized representative.
We may consult with IRCC to determine what stage of assessment your application is in, and whether a change may be made at that time. Any changes to the conditions of a nomination will be communicated to IRCC.
Revisions and/or extensions of a nomination certificate will be valid for six months:
If your application was deemed ineligible by the SINP and you believe that an error was made during application processing or in the assessment of the application based on the criteria at the time of application then you may request a second review.
Second reviews are based on the information contained in the original application. As a result, you may not submit new supporting documents unless a processing or procedural error was made by the SINP that resulted in the information not being considered in the original assessment.
Please note that you can only have one application in process at any time which means that if you have submitted a new application to the SINP while a second review is underway, you will need to cancel your application for second review in order to have the new application accepted for assessment.
To request a second review, you must submit the Request for a Second Review Form by email to immigration.programintegrity@gov.sk.ca within 30 days of the date that the SINP issued the ineligible letter. Your signed form must clearly state your reason for a second review.
If the ineligible decision is overturned through a second review, your application may be approved for a nomination, or additional or updated information may be required from you in order to conclude the review.
If the ineligible decision is upheld after the second review, then the file will be closed. There is no further appeal or review of this application.
Immigration representatives can represent active applications, which include applications in process and applications with a valid nomination, and applications which have been rejected or refused prior to the deadline for a second review request.
If there are grounds to believe that an applicant and/or their representative have provided false information on an application, then our Program Integrity Unit (PIU) will undertake an investigation for misrepresentation.
Reasons leading to this review may include, but are not limited to:
An investigation for misrepresentation can take place at any stage of the SINP process and it may include reviewing all of the information that was provided in an applicant's current and/or previous applications.
If misrepresentation is suspected, then we will place the processing of the application on hold pending an investigation. The applicant or their representative, if applicable, will be sent a Letter of Procedural Fairness by email outlining the grounds that we have to believe that misrepresentation has occurred.
A Nomination Certificate may be withdrawn under the following circumstances:
If, following an investigation, we find that a nomination withdrawal is warranted based on the circumstances above then we will withdraw the nomination certificate or support IRCC's refusal of the nominee's application for PR. The individual will then be notified in a letter sent by email from SINP or the IRCC. If misrepresentation is found to have taken place then the applicant may be suspended from using the SINP for two to five years in addition to the withdrawal of the nomination certificate.
SINP may support IRCC's decision to refuse your application for PR by withdrawing your nomination certificate if we are in agreement with the reasons of refusal. You will be notified of the decision by email from the SINP.
When conducting a review of a nomination certificate, IRCC will be contacted and the application for PR (on the basis of the certificate) will be placed on hold. We will inform IRCC of our decision to maintain or withdraw the nomination.
