What changed

As of October 20, 2026, the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) processing statistics page shows updated figures for the Retail sector. These figures apply to the capped-sector intake window that opened on Sept. 14, 2026 (9:30 a.m.).

  • Positions used rose from 137 to 145.
  • Remaining positions to be accepted fell from 38 to 30.
  • The position limit is 175.

Who it affects

Retail is one of the SINP's capped sectors for 2026. According to the page:

  • Employers in capped sectors can only submit applications during the intake windows.
  • Only workers with six months or less on a valid work permit are eligible to submit immigration applications.
  • Each position requested on an Employer Position Assessment (EPA) counts toward the intake window limit.
  • Spots are first-come, first-served.

Dates

The page says figures are updated daily (Monday through Friday) during the intake window, or immediately when the limit is reached. The page does not give a separate date for this update. The change was detected on October 20, 2026.
