Farm Owner and Operator Category
This former category was for experienced farm operators with significant capital who planned to buy and operate a farm in Saskatchewan in primary agricultural production. It was permanently closed on March 27, 2025 as part of the SINP's closure of all Entrepreneur and Farm pathways. The official category page has been removed, so this entry points to the SINP procedures page that records the program structure.
Closed
