BC PNP Certificate of Qualification for Industrial Electrician necessary?

[JanBe]

Hello,

I want to apply for the BC PNP Skilled Worker Program. I have a job offer as an Industrial Electrician. Is a Canadian trade certificate mandatory (Red Seal)? I found contradictory statements. The NOC-description says it is voluntary (https://noc.esdc.gc.ca/Structure/No...2DFGkRgZ/NqN79S6CTdLaUmtlDk3GhIExaEsVSa1C8HCi) and at workBC it states: “it is necessary to hold a certificate of qualification from the Industry Training Authority or be registered in a four-year apprenticeship that will lead to qualification“ (https://www.workbc.ca/Job-Seekers/Career-Profiles/7242#job-requirements). Does anyone know if I need one or where I could ask?

Thank you so much for your help!

You don't explicitly need a Red Seal to do electrical work in BC but you do need a recognized Trade Qualification (generally Red Seal) to have authority to pull permits, make declarations, or be named as a Field Services Representative. Your employer should be able to tell you if you'll be authorized to actually work in BC as an electrician.

For your purposes, I don't think that the Canadian certificate is mandatory for the PNP.
