Yes it does! It's very odd that you weren't able to. Are you sure your job is classed as skilled? I'm just wondering if you have a job (i.e. truck driver, or another Level C or D job) that wouldn't have qualified your wife for a SOWP, and that would also explain why you had to wait 6 months before being able to apply for PR.

Anybody who is the spouse, or common-law spouse, of somebody with a skilled TWP (Level A, O or B, as per the info above and in Siouxie's link) is entitled to a SOWP and the person with the skilled TWP can also apply for PR immediately.

I've been in Saskatoon for a couple of years now and just got PR via the Sask. provincial nominee program (SINP).

The 'toon' is a great place to live

Thanks

Yes, both. It is all collected at the same time.

Thanks for the reply, can you explain it in simple terms, or point me in the direction of any sites that could, do you basically pay 2 different bodies a % of wages / earnings at the same time?

thanks Scott

Hi schumachergal Good Day!I am currently working in Red Deer Alberta Canada as a room attendant for almost 3 years. I applied for a AINP but i got deny due to the wages and hours of work as a low skilled worker. I found a job in Regina Saskatchewan as a waitress in a restaurant. But I am worried if i can apply for a SINP in Saskatchewan under my job...Please give me advice. Thanks
