The timeline for licensure varies applicant to applicant and is dependent on the length of time it takes for the CDSS to receive all the required documentation. Due to the fact that the CDSS cannot predict exactly when a license will be issued, it is recommended that applicants do not schedule any patient appointments until after license has been issued. If while awaiting licensure, the date on a license application and/or the issue date on a Certificate of Standing exceeds 3 months, the documents will be considered stale-dated and will need to be resubmitted. Please note, that a Saskatchewan license will not be issued if the applicant has any open professional conduct cases in other jurisdictions.
