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.
