The officers, a male and a female, were shot in the town of Mildred, a small farming community located about 140 kilometres west of Prince Albert, Sask.
They were taken to a Saskatoon hospital and are recovering after undergoing extensive surgery.
Cpl. Keith Bott of the Spiritwood RCMP said the next 48 hours will determine the severity of their injuries.
"They've completed surgery and we've just basically been advised that it's just ... sit back and a waiting game now," Bott told The Canadian Press.
The officers were shot while pursuing a suspect.
According to reports, three officers were investigating an assault complaint at about 9 p.m. when a suspect fled in a vehicle.
The officers reportedly followed the vehicle, and were fired upon when the suspect stopped.
The third, uninjured officer returned fire on the suspect who then fled on foot and is still on the loose.
Police have set up roadblocks, established a no-fly zone and are using a plane as part of efforts to capture the suspect, who is described as armed and dangerous.
"We're trying to keep people out. This individual is considered dangerous for obvious reasons, so we're trying to locate him before he gets back into the public again,'' Bott told CP.
Police were searching for 41-year-old Curtis Alfred Dagenais, who is described as a white male with brown hair and green eyes.
Dagenais, who is five-foot-11 and weighs 158 pounds, was last seen wearing blue jean cutoffs, a short-sleeved shirt and a baseball cap.
Police were asking anyone with information about his whereabouts to call their local RCMP detachment.
The Saskatoon major crimes unit was helping search for Dagenais.
The injured officers are based out of the RCMP detachment in Spiritwood, Sask.
In March 2005, four RCMP officers were shot and killed in Mayerthorpe, Alta. by James Roszko while they were on his property to investigate stolen parts and a marijuana grow operation.
Roszko then took his own life.
...and hopefully this clown will do the same.......

My thoughts and prayers go to the officers and the families for a speedy recovery.
