UK Plumber > Canada Plumber?
Hi guys, I started this thread in Working Abroad by Profession forum but they don't seem to as get many visitors over there, so i thought i'll stick it in here aswell!
My question was; What is involved in becoming a plumber in Canada? What trade test (or similar) would i need to sit? Whats the average salary? Is there a part of Canada where plumbers a required more than others?
If someone is able to answer my questions or point me in the right direction that would be great

Sorry should have said; yes i'm a qualified plumber and have been so for the past 18 months, i was looking in and around Toronto area but haven't 100% decided on that yet, I don't really have much experience with gas work here in Scotand however i would be intested in doing so in Canada if possible.

....or move into a province where plumbing is not regulated and start working ...once all the other immigration issues like visa and such are sorted out.

There is some useful information in this pdf about which Provinces require Red Seal certification. www.mcac.ca/portals/0/plumber.pdf
For a list of Provincial 'skills' websites see here: http://www.competencescanada.com/ind...d=42&Itemid=66
You can find average salaries etc here :http://www.workingincanada.gc.ca/can...eyword=plumber
