my husband is a carpenter and he didnt do the red seal, he found he just got a job no problems, in fact because he was from england they bit his hand off... but unfortunaly the pay for carpenters is rubbish as they are so replaceable....

Having an inter-provincial qualification puts you at a significant advantage, particularly from a remuneration perspective. If an employer has a choice over a certified trade vs a non certified, who gets hired? What about when work is short, who is most in demand?
