Saskatchewan (SK)

[yasirmajid]

Good Morning All,

I could not find any posting relevant to my queries, so I decided to put them all here. Probably any one moving from Ontario to Saskatchewan will get benefit from this post hopefully.

1. Would Ontario G (full driving) licence be accepted in SK or do we need to to do additional testing?
2. Health Insurance is covered after 3 months once applied for Health Insurance Plan, probably called
SHIP?
3. Any idea about accommodation costing or where can we find prices for rental apartments, transportation system?

Best Regards
Yasir Majid

1. Ontario drivers license will be exchanged for an SK drivers license without any problems.
2. Health insurance kicks in after 3 months but until then you are still covered under OHIP (that is if you were in ON long enough to be already covered under OHIP). Go to http://www.health.gov.sk.ca/how-to-register for Saskatchewan Health (not SHIP)
3. google

Thanks Leon..

Information on licence was helpful.

* I am looking to move to Regina, as it is a capital city and beleive it will have more versatility than elsewhere in SK. However, any one knows any area near downtown or near better areas to live. I prefer secure area than cheapest.

Cheers
Yasir
