For the Hard-to-Fill Skills Pilot, the processing time was 29 weeks. In the Saskatchewan Experience category, the processing times for the Existing Work Permit and International Students streams were 11 and 8 weeks, respectively. The SINP did not provide an update regarding the processing times for applications in the Entrepreneur & Farm category, as the program has permanently closed all Entrepreneur and Farm immigration pathways, effective March 27, 2025. For the second review request, applications with and without job offers had an average application processing time of 4 weeks. The Job Approval Process, which authorizes an employer to hire a foreign worker through the SINP, took 2 weeks for Health, Agriculture, and Skilled Trades, and 4 weeks for other sectors.
