SINP blood-relation nomination: does it matter if your relative moves to another province while you wait?

Step-by-Step

For a Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) application filed under the blood relation category (worth 20 points), where your Saskatchewan-based relative is now moving to another province while you're still waiting for nomination:

  1. General understanding shared in the group: the relative who qualifies you for the blood-relation points should remain living in Saskatchewan up until you land, to keep that basis for nomination intact.

  2. Confirm directly with SINP: the group didn't have official published documentation confirming this, so members suggested emailing SINP directly for a clear answer.

  3. When contacting SINP: ask as a general information question rather than referencing your specific application details, and expect a response within about 5 business days based on past experience.


Bottom line: don't assume your relative can move freely once your application is submitted — confirm directly with SINP, since the blood-relation basis may depend on your relative continuing to reside in Saskatchewan through to your landing.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Tip: Email SINP directly and ask generally (not referencing your specific file) — expect a reply in about 5 business days.
  • Don't: Don't assume it's fine for your qualifying relative to relocate out of Saskatchewan before you land, without confirming with SINP first.
