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.

Blimey, loads of stuff to take in, thanks for everyones help I will start to go through it all and follow up on advice, another question I have is, we really want to bring our cat with us has anyone done this , or does anyone know anyone who has, again any advice or suggestions would help us out hugely,

thanks Scott

we brought 3 dogs...got all the stuff on our own with our local vet,booked them same flight as us but had to call the airline head office in quebec to get them booked....handed em over at gatwick,picked up in about 15 mins at calgary...but my friend used a company called airpets located at heathrow to bring his out and when he went back 2 years ago....heard they are good.

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

been here 6 years..live in the hamlet at pike lake

Thanks for all the info, have been in touch with some of the pet moving companies, it seems really easy to do, Can anyone tell me do you pay two sorts of income tax, federal and provincial ?

Thanks
Scott

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
