Immigration platforms

Here's what the 2024 Saskatchewan election parties are promising.
We don't have any Sask Party policies on Immigration.

NDP

  • Restore the family class within the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program
  • Speed up approval of credentials for those trained abroad
  • Increase funding for English as an Additional Language supports in schools

    "Increase funding for English as an Additional Language supports in schools to help the children of newcomers succeed." — It’s Time for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20

Sask United

  • Order an audit of existing immigration programmes and a thorough assessment of the labour market, infrastructure, and community resources

    "The Sask Party government announced it will introduce 170,000 new residents over the next five years. This is both irresponsible and disrespectful to the citizens of Saskatchewan. Currently, our healthcare, education, and housing are in crisis and can’t keep up with the current demand. Saskatchewan needs to tailor immigration to meet its specific needs. Before continuing to accept new immigrants, we will order an audit of our existing immigration programs and a thorough assessment of our labor market, infrastructure, and community resources. We will ensure that new arrivals contribute positively to our province while addressing the pressing concerns of our communities." — The Sask United Blueprint for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20
