Hi
I don't know if can I help you but I think I can talked about my experience and how I applied for PR in SK.
First, I took a certificate program at SIAST for one year. After six months studying there I applied for a out-campus work permit. At the beginning you just come here with a study permit which let you work just inside the campus. (these hours doesn't count for immigration)
Second, when finally got the out of campus work permit I started doing the work experience.
Third. After I finished school and the work experience. I need to find a job and applied for a post-graduation work permit. From this point the experience you get. It start counting for immigration. In my case I was lucky. The company where I did the work experience hired me.
According to the SINP you need at least 960 hours or 6 months of work experience in any field but after you get the post-graduation work permit.
I hope that helped you

Hi
I took the New Media Communications program at SIAST.
It was really expensive for international students I had to paid 15 thousands dollars for one year of classes. I believe for Canadians is around 2 thousands per year.
I don't know what do you mean with initial state but I know. If you have a student permit you can only work inside the campus where u are studying. After six months of classes you can apply for an out-campus work permit.
In terms of accommodation. The rents in SK for an apartment with one room, one washroom, a kitchen and a living room are around 600 to 700 a months. So, is better if you find a room mate or someone to live with you.

To get a study permit, you should have $10,000 to 15,000 to pay for the tuition, 10, 000 for yourself and extra 4, 000 for every dependent you bring for 1 year's stay in Canada. The spouse can apply for work permit together with your study permit application.
There is no age limit in SK. If you can apply in London for the study permit, you must read up on the requirements from the London pffice. Some visa offices want bank balances showing from 2 years prior to applying for student visa or it could be 3 months prior.
If you are able to convince CIC that you can afford to live in Canada as a student and have strong ties back in your home country, then you and your spouse will be approved and can get the permits.
Your spouse can work with an open work permit, work for any employer and help with your finances while you are in Canada. The spouse can even get SINP nominated by the employer after working for 6 months while you study. You should read up on the SINP streams.
Just be aware, the hourly wage in SK is low, around $9.50 per hour for retail/food service work, office clerks can get anywhere between $11 to $16 per hour. Hope this helps. Winter is manageable, just layer up in clothes and wear proper clothing, if we can handle it, you can too.
