Health card renewal and replacement in Saskatchewan

Compiled by Mahmoud Halat, checked

Short answer

Saskatchewan health cards are issued by eHealth Saskatchewan. The usual way to apply is online through a Saskatchewan Account, where you upload proof that you can legally be in Canada and that you live in Saskatchewan. You can also mail a paper form or visit the Regina front desk. The card is free, and people moving from another province are usually covered from the first day of the third month.
