Saskatchewan immigration has resumed draws through its Entrepreneur stream for the first time since before the COVID-19 pandemic struck.

The Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) suspended draws as of March 2020, the month the deadly virus first swept through Canada, forcing governments to impose restrictions.

The province conducted a new draw on July 12, issuing 28 invitations with a minimum score of 120.

Further draws are planned for September 2 and November 4.
