Question (Plumbing)

[fredde587]

I basically can't find any requirements for working as a plumber in Canada, I have a degree in plumbing that took me 3 years (35 hours a week + internships + about 16 months of actual work experience after school. I know it is a regulated trade thats all but do I have enough experience to work here as a plumber? Or is apprenticeship an option for foreign people?

1. You would have to write the Red Seal examination for a plumber, to do it, you require 9000 hours as an plumber's apprentice.
2. Only PRs/Citizens are accepted into Apprenticeships in most provinces.
