Senators are Canadians of accomplishment and experience. They have four important responsibilities:Legislate – In addition to proposing their own bills, senators review legislation passed by the House of Commons. Represent – Senators represent their province or territory and give a voice to minorities. Investigate – Through Senate committees, Senators investigate matters that are important to Canadians. Deliberate – Senators draw on their diverse experiences and backgrounds to debate and vote on bills under consideration.Saskatchewan has 6 seats in the Senate. Information on current Senators and their planned retirement date can be found on the Senate website.The Independent Advisory Board for Senate Appointments is accepting applications for one or more Saskatchewan Senator positions.
Canadians may apply for appointment to the Senate through an open application process based on transparent, merit-based criteria and requirements under the Constitution. You are encouraged to review information about the role of the Senate and the assessment criteria, and to consider how well you meet each of the criteria and requirements before applying.
To submit an application, please ensure you are logged in to your profile first. If you have not already done so, please consult the How to apply page for more details on how to proceed.Applications remain active for a two-year period, beginning on the date the application was submitted. If you applied in the past two years, you do not need to reapply but you can update your documents if you wish. Updating documents does not restart the two-year retention period. Note that updates completed after the application review start date might not be considered by the Advisory Board in time for that review cycle.If you have any questions regarding the Senate appointments process, please refer to our Questions and Answers page.
