Yes. Trades occupations can be covered under labour mobility provisions of the Canadian Free Trade Agreement. You need to be certified in your trade to qualify for “certificate-to-certificate” recognition.

Contact the regulatory authority in the province or territory where you wish to be certified to see if you must register or apply for a licence or certificate in that province/territory before you can work.

If you need contact information for a regulatory authority, check with the regulatory authority for your occupation in your home province or territory. There may be a link to regulators in other provinces/territories on their website. If you still cannot find the information, please contact the Labour Mobility Coordinator in your current province or territory.
