Data Set This annual statistical report provides an overview of newcomers who have arrived in Saskatchewan in recent years. Data in this report represents those immigrants that have landed in the province of Saskatchewan as Permanent Residents (PRs) and Temporary Residents (TRs). Permanent residents are people that have been granted permanent resident status in Canada. Permanent residents must live in Canada for at least 730 days (two years) within a five-year period or risk losing their status. Permanent residents have all the rights guaranteed under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms such as equality rights, legal rights, mobility rights, freedom of religion, freedom of expression and freedom of association. They do not, however, have the right to vote in elections. In this report, Permanent Residents may be further described as Federal or Provincial immigrants, depending on the Immigration Category through which they arrived. Temporary Residents are foreign nationals who are lawfully in Canada on a temporary basis under the authority of a valid document (i.e., a work permit, study permit, temporary resident permit, or a visitor record) issued for the purpose of entering Canada and individuals who seek asylum upon or after their arrival in Canada and remain in the country pending the outcome of processes relative to their claim. Temporary residents include foreign workers, foreign students, the humanitarian population and other temporary residents. Provincial immigrants are those individuals that have been nominated by the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) for permanent resident status. Provincial Nominees make up a sub-category of the Federal Economic Class. Federal immigrants include those immigrating through the Federal Economic, Family and the Humanitarian classes. Saskatchewan receives Permanent Resident data in the form of Micro Data from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). This is the first annual report to include Temporary Resident data. Micro Data includes detailed landings information for on all immigrants that arrive in Saskatchewan as Permanent and Temporary Residents. CIC Micro Data, 2013.

Overview of Immigration in Saskatchewan Immigration provides an important tool for addressing Saskatchewan’s labour market and demographic challenges by increasing the pool of workers in the province and enriching the ethno-cultural mosaic of our communities. To come to Canada permanently, foreign nationals can apply for immigration under three main classes ─ family class, economic class (which includes the Provincial Nominee Program), or refugees. Most Provinces/Territories in Canada operate a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). In Saskatchewan, the program is called the SINP. This provincially-administered immigration program allows Saskatchewan to select and nominate prospective immigrants that would positively contribute to the economy and society, and are likely to successfully settle in Saskatchewan. Upon nomination by the SINP, prospective immigrants can apply to the federal government (CIC) for a permanent resident visa that allows them to live and work in Canada. The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, 2002, sets out federal eligibility criteria for prospective immigrants in each class: Economic; Family; and Refugees. The Economic class includes Skilled Workers and Professionals, Canadian Experience (for those with recent Canadian work experience or that have graduated and recently worked in Canada), businesspersons (investors, entrepreneurs, and self-employed) and Provincial Nominees. Family members of Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents can apply under the federal Family class. The Humanitarian (Refugee) class includes government-assisted, privately-sponsored refugees, refugees landed in Canada, and the dependents of refugees abroad. The Canada-Saskatchewan Immigration Agreement, signed in May 2005, outlines the rights and responsibilities of the federal and provincial governments with respect to Saskatchewan-selected prospective immigrants. In light of the demand for labour in specific sectors, and the positive economic and social contributions of newcomers, Saskatchewan continues to improve the SINP to attract and retain new immigrants that will contribute to Saskatchewan’s economy. The SINP operates under the economic category and currently administers seven admission categories: Skilled Workers, Family Members, Health Professionals, International Students, Long-Haul Truck Drivers, Hospitality Sector Workers and Entrepreneurs/Farmers. The SINP has education, work experience, and official language requirements that ensure more positive settlement experiences in Saskatchewan. Entrepreneurs must be prepared to make a significant investment in Saskatchewan, must actively manage that investment and must prove a minimum net worth, among other conditions.
In 2012, 178 Saskatchewan communities saw the arrival of immigrants who were migrating from 140 different countries. As a subset of the total immigration population, provincial nominees migrated from 108 countries, arriving to 136 communities in Saskatchewan. Temporary residents arrived from 147 different countries to 265 Saskatchewan communities.
Saskatchewan reached an all-time population high in 2012. Immigration was the greatest contributing factor, accounting for approximately 65 per cent of the population growth. SINP

nominees and their family members accounted for 81 per cent of new immigrants in 2012. Landings of provincial nominees have increased by 839 per cent since 2006, while federal immigration has remained relatively static, seeing a nominal 22 per cent increase over this same period. It is expected that Saskatchewan will welcome approximately 12,000 new immigrants in 2013. These numbers reflect the most noticeable trend over the last five years, which is the province’s increased role in economic immigration. The term “landed” indicates that an immigrant has received his/her permanent resident status. To encourage immigrants to settle and integrate, the Ministry has developed a new settlement and integration model which provides funding to third party organizations to deliver settlement and language services that facilitate better integration. The Ministry is committed to ensuring all services are readily accessible and provided in a timely, supportive manner, in an effort to ensure positive outcomes for immigrants, employers, and communities. The information presented in this report includes both Permanent Resident and Temporary Resident data. This report includes information on only those that have been issued Permanent or Temporary Residence through CIC.
