Saskatchewan Long-Haul Truck Drivers

Driven to Succeed: Trucking Pathway in Sask

The Saskatchewan Long-Haul Truck Driver Project is a subcategory of the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) that allows the province to nominate candidates who have a job offer from a Saskatchewan trucking company for permanent residency in Canada. To be eligible for the Saskatchewan Long-Haul Truck Driver Project, candidates must have a valid job offer from a Saskatchewan trucking company, meet the SINP eligibility criteria, and have the necessary education and work experience for the position.
