Attention: Skilled Overseas Tradespersons - Pursue Canada Trade Certification of Qualification and Build Your Career in Canada!

Canada is actively seeking skilled trade professionals, particularly in fields such as Welding, Electrical Work, Carpentry, Automotive Repair, Plumbing, and more. Employment and Social Development Canada estimates that over 700,000 tradespersons will retire between 2019 and 2028, creating a major need for qualified tradespeople.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) offers a pathway for skilled trades professionals to obtain Permanent Residence (PR) in Canada through the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). This allows you to gain a certificate of qualification and apply for Canadian residency.

Federal Skilled Trades Program Overview

The FSTP allows experienced skilled tradespersons to secure PR in Canada if they:

Have two years of recent work experience in a skilled trade.
Possess a valid job offer from a Canadian employer.
Meet language and education requirements.
Hold a certificate of qualification in their trade.

The certification validates your skills and knowledge in a specific trade within Canada. Even if you hold a license from your home country, obtaining Canadian Red Seal certification is crucial to work in Canada and secure a Canadian job offer.

How to Qualify for Canada’s Red Seal Certification

The Red Seal Program certifies tradespersons across Canada, allowing them to practice in their trade in any province or territory. To obtain this designation, you must pass the Red Seal examination, covering all key areas and tasks relevant to your trade. The exam consists of multiple-choice questions, and a passing score of 70% is required.

In addition to the exam, you must also meet eligibility requirements for formal training, work experience, and apprenticeships. Requirements may vary depending on the province or territory.
