If you are a Canadian citizen or a landed immigrant and you make your home in Saskatchewan and you ordinarily live in the province for at least six months of each year, you are eligible for provincial health coverage. If you are not a Canadian citizen or a landed immigrant but are in Saskatchewan under either a Student Authorization or an Employment Authorization or a Minister's Permit issued by Citizenship and Immigration, you may be eligible for provincial coverage for the period of your residency here. You should contact Health Registration to discuss your eligibility.

To apply for coverage, you must complete a health services card application form. Application forms are available online and from the offices of administrators of towns, villages, rural municipalities and Saskatchewan Health Registration. You can also call 787-3251 (Regina Residents) or 1-800-667-7551 (Provincial Toll Free)
to have a form mailed to you.

No. Marriage does not confer status or citizenship. The eligibility of the non-Canadian spouse is wholly dependent upon the documents issued by Citizenship and Immigration Canada that allow the spouse to enter and remain in Canada. If the spouse is admitted to Canada as a "visitor," the spouse will not be eligible for coverage.
