Entrepreneur Category
Saskatchewan's former entrepreneur route selected business owners through an expression of interest system, with higher investment thresholds for businesses in Regina and Saskatoon than in other communities. The province permanently closed all of its Entrepreneur and Farm pathways on March 27, 2025 following federal nomination allocation cuts. The criteria below are the last published requirements, kept for reference.
