How long does a Saskatchewan (SINP) nomination really take? Reported timelines vary widely

Step-by-Step

A member asked whether it's true that Saskatchewan's SINP nomination takes 28 months. (Note: these timelines are member-reported and reflect the period the thread was posted — always check SINP's current processing time estimates, since they shift.)

What members reported, with a wide range:
  1. For the SINP-EE stream specifically, one member cited an average duration of around 9 months, with some recent applicants receiving decisions in just 1–2 months.

  2. A separate comment suggested that applicants located outside Canada might face substantially longer waits — up to around 3 years in some cases, according to that member's understanding.


Practical takeaway: reported SINP timelines varied enormously in this thread — from 1–2 months to multiple years — likely reflecting differences in stream (SINP-EE vs. other streams), applicant location, and how demand has shifted over time. Treat any single figure, including the 28-month claim in the original question, as one data point rather than a reliable estimate, and check SINP's official current processing times before planning around a specific number.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Tip: SINP-EE processing has been reported anywhere from 1-2 months to about 9 months on average — timelines shift over time.
  • Don't: Don't rely on a single reported number (like 28 months) — check SINP's current official processing times, since community reports vary widely by stream and applicant location.
