Saskatchewan Canada Immigration: Franchise Success Story.

Talk to a Lawyer
A foreign national entrepreneur presents a business plan to the Government of Saskatchewan as part of their application under the SINP entrepreneur category. The individual has at least one year of work experience and meets SINP’s eligibility criteria, including language proficiency, post-secondary education, and valid work permit status. Their business is primarily based in one of Saskatchewan’s major cities, targeting certain sectors such as services and health care. With support from a Saskatchewan employer and a job offer aligned with their intended occupation, the candidate seeks to complete the immigration process and contribute to the province’s economy. The photo illustrates the important role of immigrant entrepreneurs in addressing labour shortages and creating employment in Canada.

When David Omari (not his real name) arrived in Canada, he brought more than just capital—he brought a bold vision, decades of business experience, and a desire to contribute meaningfully to his new home – Saskatchewan, Canada. His goal? To establish a one-stop solution for corporate branding and promotional services in one of Canada’s fastest-growing regions. David’s business has significantly contributed to Saskatchewan’s economy by creating jobs and supporting local enterprises.

By acquiring a well-established franchise, David hit the ground running. His business quickly became a trusted provider for a diverse clientele, including small businesses, Indigenous-led organizations, universities, and industry associations. His operation earned its place as a reliable partner in the Saskatchewan business community.

Major cities like Saskatoon and Regina have played a crucial role in attracting businesses and immigrants, further boosting the region’s development.

As the first location flourished, David began laying the groundwork for expansion, envisioning a second location to meet growing demand in surrounding areas. Throughout his journey, Sobirovs Law Firm provided the legal guidance and immigration support needed to ensure David could confidently focus on growing his business.

Why Immigrate to Saskatchewan?

Saskatchewan is a popular destination for newcomers due to its robust economy, high employment rate, and welcoming community. The province offers a wealth of opportunities for individuals looking to immigrate to Canada, particularly for skilled workers in various industries. Saskatchewan’s economy is primarily driven by agriculture and natural resources, providing a stable foundation for growth and development. Major cities like Regina and Saskatoon offer a high quality of life with excellent amenities, educational institutions, and healthcare facilities. Additionally, the province is known for its low cost of living and a strong sense of community, making it an ideal place to start a new life.

How Sobirovs Law Firm Helped with C11 Valid Work Permit Canada

A professional immigration lawyer at a Canadian law firm consults with a foreign entrepreneur interested in immigrating to Saskatchewan through the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP), specifically under the entrepreneur category. The entrepreneur, who has a valid work permit and previous business experience, is preparing documents to meet the SINP eligibility criteria, including language requirements, proof of investment, and a detailed business plan. The law firm provides guidance on navigating the provincial nominee program, ensuring alignment with Saskatchewan’s economic priorities and addressing labour shortages in certain sectors. This image reflects the critical role of legal services in helping skilled foreign nationals and international graduates successfully transition to permanent residence and contribute to Saskatchewan’s economy and workforce.

From the beginning, our team worked closely with David to secure his initial work permit under the C11 entrepreneur stream. This stream is different than the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program in that the C11 is a federal program for the entrepreneur category. The C11 work permit stream helps foreign nationals like David to establish their businesses in Canada without relying on the Government of Saskatchewan. The role of the federal government is crucial in administering the C11 work permit program and shaping related immigration policies.

We continued to support him throughout his first two years in Canada—ensuring he had access to the right information and legal guidance to stay on track, remain compliant, and build toward future goals.

When it came time to extend his stay in Saskatchewan on a work permit, we emphasized to Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada the importance of having a valid work permit for this process. We helped ensure all aspects of his growth, performance, and economic contributions were clearly communicated to immigration authorities. As a result, David’s work permit was successfully renewed for another two years.

The Bigger Picture: Why This Story Matters for Economic Benefits

A group of foreign nationals, including international graduates and skilled workers, meet with a Saskatchewan employer in Regina, one of the province's major cities. They are discussing job offers in sectors experiencing labour shortages, such as agriculture and health care. These candidates, many of whom have previously worked in Canada on a valid work permit, are pursuing permanent residence through the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP), including streams like the international graduate entrepreneur category and the skilled worker category. The image highlights the importance of SINP recruitment in strengthening Saskatchewan’s economy and addressing workforce needs across key industries. This scene reflects the province’s ongoing effort to support immigration and attract eligible workers through provincial nominee programs.

While legal support played a key role, David’s success ultimately stems from his own vision, determination, and relentless commitment to building something meaningful in Saskatchewan. From the moment he arrived, he immersed himself as a Saskatchewan employer in the local business environment—promoting his services, building strong relationships, and establishing a reputation for quality and reliability in the province. His efforts have significantly contributed to Saskatchewan’s economy, which is heavily reliant on agriculture and natural resources and supports a high employment rate for immigrants.

His journey is a compelling reminder of what the C11 entrepreneur program and provincial nominee programs are designed to support: individuals who bring not just capital but value—through leadership, innovation, and a deep investment in their new home. David is one of many bold builders in the province who are shaping Canada’s economic future, one business at a time, creating jobs for newcomers, foreign workers, semi-skilled workers, skilled workers, permanent residents and Canadian citizens.

Employers, such as David, also play a crucial role in supporting local businesses and the economy by creating opportunities for individuals capable of integrating into the workforce and addressing labour market needs and labour shortages.
