When working in Saskatchewan, two different licenses are required:

1. The Electrical Journeyperson licence is for an individual to be allowed to perform the work in the province as a qualified Journeyperson. We require a copy of your credentials as proof of qualifications to issue a licence and the qualifying Journeyperson must have held their Red Seal for a minimum of two years.
2. The Electrical Contractor licence is for the business/company to pull the permits through TSASK Inspections. We require an Electrical Contractor’s guarantee bond to issue the licence.

The only journeyperson credentials recognized in Saskatchewan are credentials that have been issued in Canada. If you have obtained a journeyperson certificate in another country and want journeyperson certification in Saskatchewan, you must apply for a trade qualifier assessment with Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission.

You can apply to be assessed and see if you would meet the eligibility requirements to write the certification examination here in Saskatchewan. In order to qualify as an Internationally Trained Worker in the trade, you must prove required hours and years of trade experience.
