Saskatchewan is perhaps home to one of the most rapidly growing economies and populations in Canada. This is largely due to the arrival of immigrants from across the globe. 

Saskatchewan is considered one of the three prairie provinces of Canada. Its economy is primarily based on agriculture as well as important natural resources industries such as Uranium, Oil, and Potash. It boasts two major cities, which are Saskatoon and Regina, as well as vast expanses of pristine wilderness.

Saskatchewan is very successful when it comes to immigration. The province welcomes about 3,000 and 4,000 newcomers every year. That number has now grown up to 15,000. This is particularly impressive when considering that the population of Saskatchewan is just over 1 million. The province is one of Canada’s most popular destinations for immigrants.
