Default Driving licences - Province change

We are moving over to Saskatchewan in a couple of weeks.
If we change our UK Driving Licences to Saskatchewan Driving Licences and then decide to move Provinces in say.............6 months, to Alberta. Would we have to change the Licences again?
Also if we bought and registered a car in Saskatchewan would we
have to re-register that in Alberta too?
Sorry if this has already been asked. I did look in Wiki but couldnt find the
answer.
Thanks Shashy :-)

I just moved to Alberta from Manitoba. Can I continue to use my Manitoba driver’s licence and registration?

Only for 90 days. From the day you move to Alberta, you have 90 days to exchange your licence for an Alberta one and to register your non-commercial vehicle in this province.

New residents who wish to drive in Saskatchewan must get a Saskatchewan driver's licence for either of the following - whichever comes 1st:

within 90 days of moving to the province; or
upon expiry of your out-of-province licence

Registration rules: http://www.sgi.sk.ca/individuals/reg...nes/index.html and http://www.servicealberta.ca/572.cfm

Yes. Grace periods would apply.
