Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan is one of Western Canada’s Prairie provinces. Agriculture and key natural resource sectors such as forestry and fisheries are the mainstays of the country’s economy. It is home to two major cities, Saskatoon and Regina, as well as extensive stretches of untouched wilderness. Alberta borders Saskatchewan on the west, the Northwest Territories on the north, Manitoba on the east, Nunavut on the northeast, and the US states of Montana and North Dakota on the south. Saskatchewan is a landlocked province with long distances between bodies of water that serve as a buffer. As a result, the province’s climate is particularly continental, resulting in harsh winters across the board. Summers in the south are very warm or hot.

Saskatchewan’s Provincial Nominee Program is known as SINP.
