About the fee in Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan is one of three provinces with no land transfer tax. A buyer pays only the title transfer fee, 0.4% of the value, collected by the lawyer when the title is registered: $3,000 on a $750,000 home, where Manitoba's tax would be $12,287.
There is no first-time buyer rebate, because there is no tax. Saskatchewan helps first-time buyers through its income tax credit instead.

The buyer, on closing day: your lawyer collects it with the other closing costs and pays it when the transfer is registered. It cannot be negotiated, deferred or added to the mortgage, so it must be in cash on top of the down payment.
