There are several things that will help you begin your job search in Saskatchewan: 

Job titles and descriptions are not universal. Your occupation may have a different job title.  Even if it is called by the same name, the kind of work you would be required to do in Saskatchewan may be different than what you've done before. 

The provinces within Canada use a standardized system to classify jobs.  The Working in Canada Tool can help you find the name of your occupation. Through the tool, you can access the National Occupational Classification (NOC) system.

Occupations in Saskatchewan are either regulated or non-regulated.  The majority of jobs in Canada are non-regulated and do not require a license.

Jobs in regulated occupations require you to have a licence or be registered with an organization before you can begin working.  Some regulated occupations are nurses, engineers and physicians.  Occupations are regulated by each province and the rules may differ depending on where you are going.

If your occupation is regulated, it is important to learn exactly what you need to do before you can work.  Contact the organization (regulator) that is responsible for your occupation in Saskatchewan. The names and contact information for regulatory bodies can be found on the report page of the Working in Canada Tool.

Once you know the title and job description of your occupation, and if it is regulated or not, your next step is to do some research. Labour Market Information in the Working in Canada Tool can help you make an informed decision about your future. Through the tool, you will learn:

• The main tasks of your occupation in Saskatchewan;
• What skills you need;
• How much you can expect to earn in a specific area of Saskatchewan;

• Who the employers are in a particular region;
• What the job demand for the occupation is;
• Where you can get training; and
• What associations and unions are related to the occupation.

This information can help you decide where to live in Saskatchewan and it may make finding a job a little easier.
