Employment Contract Issue

Your best bet any time a contract is involved is to take it to an attorney for his/her opinion. This may not even be an actual contract but just a confirmation letter.

 

If you're smart, just a little smarter than a person who isn't SMART, you won't sign the letter, take the job, or move.

You're setting yourself up for a potential let down, a very expensive let down
But, speak to a lawyer, have the letter reviewed and get the lawyer's legal opinion.
Mine is, which I rarely offer, it's not a contract.
It's a garden variety offer letter.
It promises you no protection, and you'll simply be working at the pleasure of your potential employer.
It might work out, it might not.

Besides, Saskatchewan isn't the warmest, or the most pleasant province in Canada.

 

This is not a message board isue, this is a lawyer issue. You need one well versed in Canadian contract law. Only a lawyer who has reviewed the document can tell you if it forms a binding contract and what portions if any might be legally binding.

 

I don't think anyone on this board is an expert on Canadian law, which is what you need. You should seek out an attorney, preferably in Saskatchewan, email them the contract and ask their opinion. Most lawyers in the United States would do this for a nominal fee, certainly nothing compared to the relocation costs you are risking.
