U.K. Plumber in Canada

Hi mate seen your post, im from glasgow and a qualified plumber and heating engineer. Im in the process of sorting my visa and preparing to come out. What college would i have to contact to get the provisional license and how easy did you find work when you went over ?

Thanks

Hi,

Im hoping to move out to Canada within the year. Im a heating Engineer in Scotland and have been for 4 years.

I know that there plumbing is different than it is over here but coming from a heating Engineer background do you think it is easy enough to merge into the plumbing trade in Canada ?

Iv bought the national plumbing code book and also exam workbook, and to be hounest there is a fair amount in it that I’m unsure about...is that something that will cause an issue or do most employers expect this and provide training ?

Any info would be much appreciated 😁

hi

Lam a qualified plumber in south africa hoping to come to Canada. L sent my documents for Trade Equivalency Assessment (TEA) last year in august 2017 at Ontario College of trades and up to now i havent received anything from them but they say  it takes 8 - 10 weeks. i wrote to them and they said its being processed. if l may ask, how long does it take to obtain TEA.

Thank you

Hi mate, looking to move to Toronto and hopefully get work as a plumber, got 14 years experience in Scotland but I am not gas certified, do you know if that would prove any difficulty at all?

Hi mate, I was a plumbing and heating engineer in England. I’ve been working for a underfloor heating company for the last few months in Toronto, and wondering if there is a fast track from the gas safe to the similar qualification?
