Saskatchewan is a great place to live and raise a family and to locate or invest in a business:
- Housing costs are lower in Saskatchewan than in most major cities in Canada, and owning a home is affordable and achievable for most people.
- Unlike other Canadian provinces, Saskatchewan has no personal premiums or personal charges for basic and needed health services.
- It's important to apply for a health card as soon as you arrive.
- The provincial sales tax of 6 percent is the lowest of any province that charges a sales tax.
- It costs less to get to and from work because the maximum commute time within major cities is about 20 minutes.
Other benefits of living in Saskatchewan:
- There is no tuition fee for pre-kindergarten to grade 12 education in public schools for Saskatchewan residents.
- Graduates of approved post-secondary programs are eligible for up to $20,000 in tuition rebates through the Graduate Retention Program.
