The province would like to expand the annual number of potential newcomers to Saskatchewan from 6,000 to 13,000.
The minister of immigration and career training, as well as trade and export development, Harrison said last week in a news release that the province wanted “the same deal as Quebec.”
“What we’re asking for, essentially, is to have under that program authority for the selection of all migration into the province, which is something that Quebec enjoys.” “They’re taking upwards of 40 months right now to actually process immigration requests. We’re taking between two to six weeks to process on the selection side of the equation,” said Harrison, adding that he felt the 40-month timeline is unacceptable.Article content
Asked if 13,000 people try to immigrate to Saskatchewan each year Harrison said yes and he expects even more people would attempt to try.
