SINP is an application for permanent residence... As far as I am aware, the is no job offer requirement for it. PR is your permit to work, once you have been granted PR you don't need to buy a work permit. It sounds like you are confusing permanent residence with temporary work permit. With a TWP you can have your permit issued at POE with proof of LMO and an offer of employment (as long as your job doesn't require a medical), you do not need to get the permit before arriving.

I have been offered a job in saskatoon, the company that has offered the job has told me that they will do the LMO, i will need medical, passport, job offer and contract of employment and of course the LMO.

Once i arrive in the airport i file for the temp work permit and then when in saskatoon the worker number (similar to our prsi number)

i think that is all you need but i will have to check into it further.

If you require a medical you cannot apply for a TWP at POE.

The medical required by that particular company is for the company not the actual job if this makes sense
