Are there job opportunities for me in Saskatchewan?

Saskatchewan has opportunities for health care workers in certain professions.  While job openings are available in any health occupation, physicians, nurses, medical techologists and technicians and a number of the therapy occupations are in high demand.  Check the job sites listed below to see what positions are available in your occupation:

  • Health Careers in Saskatchewan is the provincial recruitment agency that helps job seekers find employment with the Saskatchewan regional health authorities and the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency.
  • Health Regions:  Saskatchewan is divided into 13 regions.  Each has a regional health authority that organizes and delivers health services. 
  • Saskjobs.ca is the largest job-posting site in Saskatchewan.  It has job postings in entry-level, trade, professional and management positions. 
  • Here you can find more information to assist you in your job search.

Not all health professionals are hired in the public health care system.  Many regulated health professionals,  such as chiropractors, dental assistants, dental hygienists, optometrists, pharmacists and podiatrists work in private businessses.  For example, dentists set up their own businesses and often hire dental therapists and dental assistants.  Many private clinics offer physiotherapy services, and private diagnostic labs also employ health care workers.

You can start your job search before you come to Canada.  If you already qualify for a license, or if you want to work in an unregulated position, you may be eligible for a temporary work permit.     

Senthil

I found my current position as a psychiatrist with Child and Youth Services and the General Hospital through an internet search.  Within six months from when I applied, I was offered the position.  The health region sponsored me for a site visit and helped me obtain a working visa.  (Read more about Senthil's experience).
