Driving in Saskatchewan
In order to drive in Saskatchewan you must have a valid driver’s license from your home country. If you are from Canada then you can use your Canadian driver’s license without having to take any additional tests. However, if you are coming from a different country then you may need to obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country. An IDP is a translation of your driver’s license into English so that it can be recognized in Saskatchewan.
In addition, if you are coming from the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, or Ireland then you will also need to take a road test and knowledge test for a Class 5 Saskatchewan Driver’s Licence. If you are coming from any other country then you will need to take a knowledge test and road test in order to obtain a Class 7 Saskatchewan Driver’s Licence.
Driver Education

Once you have passed the road test then you will be ready to obtain your Class 5 or 7 Saskatchewan Driver’s Licence.
