Saskatchewan residents who are going to be on vacation outside the province for an extended period of time (snowbirds for example), may qualify for a vacation allowance that enables them to maintain their Saskatchewan vehicle registration while outside the province for up to six months.

To qualify for the vacation allowance, the customer must:

  • maintain a permanent residence in Saskatchewan
  • return with the vehicle to Saskatchewan within six months
  • not hold any type of employment out of province
  • file income tax to Saskatchewan

In all cases, the customer must comply with the registration requirements of the jurisdiction in which they are operating their vehicle.
