Yes, that's why we decided to wait a year until the situation improved and there was more demand for his occupation. Do you know if immigration will accept a CIOB certificate as a Trade Cert? It is an internationally recognised qualification. Of course, he would be happy to obtain the Red Seal when he gets to Canada.

you will have to prove that you can challenge the exam before you become redseal, there is no other way with them, there is also a link to contact them, why not have a email word or call them and see what is the best route for you

Also after spending all last night with the forms, you have to provide address and work history from the age of 18...........
One thing to look at is if you do need redseal and your OH can challenge the exam, then it makes it look better on your resume, well it did for us
