Hi

I'm 36 and my wife and I want to relocate to Canada using my job as a Domestic Electrician to qualify but my problem is I obtained my qualifications, as part of my resettlement package upon leaving the Royal Navy where I carried out Electrical maintenance amongst other duties.
I have been working as a Domestic/ Commercial spark now for nearly 4 years self employed however I seem to be gettg tripped up by not having done a full time diploma for my 2381, 2377 and 2391 qualifications. Can anyone give me some advice on a way round this or a way forward, thanks.

You should'nt be working on domestic property with out either the sixteenth and now seventeenth edition IEE wiring regs you need to prove 9000 hours of hands on work to have your experince checked by the canadian government

Sorry, you've misunderstood my post, I have my 16th Edition, my 2391, my part P quals and am registered with Elecsa and have well over 9000 hours experience.
