Provincial Driver's License renewal for Expats

[YXE]

I need advice or information about procedures regarding the renewal of a provincial driver's license.

In Saskatchewan, driver's licenses are renewed every year which I've been doing while overseas for the past five years. This year, I was denied renewal because I have non-resident status. I'm not sure how to tackle this problem. What is the procedure in other provinces? Can anyone offer me suggestions as to handle this situation?

Thanks for any advice that you can offer!

If you're not living in Saskatchewan, then you don't need an SK driver's license. Same as any other province. If you are not resident, you don't get a driver's license there.

If in future you decided to move back to Canada, your foreign driver's license in most cases can just be exchanged for a Canadian one. Easy peasy.

It's not a good idea to have anything only a resident can have because it's a residential tie for tax purposes.
