Hi there
i am currently in the process of applying for visa in canada. I am a plumber looking to move over next year. I am looking for any info on requirements to work as a plumber? I am fully qualified and have full Time experience. I seen I have to sit a red seal exam possibly? Has anyone any information when I would need to sit that? Is it able to be done online before coming? How long can you work without having passed the exam yet? And best ways to study for it as I believe there will be different regulations and stuff in Canada to uk.
thanks in advance

Assuming you’ll be applying under the FST program? The provincial certification you need for that (unless you have a job offer of course) will be the certification you need to work in Canada. It can’t be done from the UK though.

It would be the working holiday visa at the moment and then going for permanent residency. The agency I have went through said it would be easiest way to do it

Ah, ok, so you don't need provincial certification for your visa then and will need to do it separately. The process will depend on the province you're moving to, each has their own process and requirements. Have a search around the forum and hopefully you'll find lots of relevant info, good luck.
