The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program stream requires a net worth of $500,000 and a minimum investment of $300,000 in Regina or Saskatoon, or $200,000 is any other Saskatchewan area.
Five draws have been conducted so far in 2019, with a total of 262 candidates receiving invitations to apply.
The stream works on a three-stage process, where candidates initially come to Saskatchewan on a work permit, before being nominated for permanent residence once the terms of a Business Performance agreement have been met.
