SINP International Skilled Workers Without an Employment Offer | Cap Reached as of January 10, 2014

As of January 10, 2014, the intake threshold for International Skilled Worker applications without job offers has been reached.  The SINP will no longer accept applications that do not have a Job Approval letter and Job Offer attached.  This update was posted at SINP website today. 

This doesn't mean that you will no longer have the opportunity to live and work in Canada.  There are other immigration programs to legally live and work in Canada such as the Federal Skilled Workers Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, Quebec Skilled Workers Program and other Provincial Nominee Programs.  If you have a friend or relative in Manitoba who is willing to endorse your application, you may be able to immigrate with your family.

To be a sponsor:

• You and the sponsored relative must sign a sponsorship agreement that commits you to provide financial support for your relative if necessary. This agreement also states that the person becoming a permanent resident will make every effort to support themselves. Dependent children under age 22 do not have to sign this agreement. Quebec residents must sign an “undertaking” with the province of Quebec—a contract binding the sponsorship.
• You must promise to provide financial support for the relative and any other eligible relatives accompanying them for a period of three to ten years, depending on their age and relationship to you. This time period begins on the date they become a permanent resident.

You may not be eligible to sponsor a relative if you:

• failed to provide the financial support you agreed to when you signed a sponsorship agreement to sponsor another relative in the past
• defaulted on a court-ordered support order, such as alimony or child support
• received government financial assistance for reasons other than a disability
• were convicted of a violent criminal offence, any offence against a relative or any sexual offence—depending on circumstances, such as the nature of the offence, how long ago it occurred and whether a record suspension (formerly called “pardons” in Canada), was issued
• defaulted on an immigration loan—late or missed payments
• are in prison or
• have declared bankruptcy and have not been released from it yet.
