1)If you are among the groups identified below, you may be eligible for benefits from the day you move to Saskatchewan.

permanent residents (landed immigrants)
people discharged from the Canadian Forces and the RCMP
non-immigrants who are in Canada in connection with their trade or profession
international students
returning spouses of Canadian Forces members
returning Canadian citizens
returning residents

2)If you are new to Saskatchewan and have come from another part of Canada, you are required to register for health coverage. As a general rule, coverage will begin on the first day of the third calendar month following the date you established residency in Saskatchewan.
