Around main street (one side close to wholesale, the other side close to safeway), 7 street (close superstore), and 8 street (close to Central Mall) have quite a lot of apartments. A lot of Chinese students and new immigrants live there. If you have some friends live in Saskatoon, they may help you to find a cheaper one.
Not too far from 14 steet, there are some apartments called "Summer Place". On Clearance Ave. and between College Drive and 8 street,there are a lot of apartments too. A lot of Chinese students live there.
