Can a foreign worker challenge the exam for certification in a skilled trade,if all his credentials have been assessed and received an affirmation from the regulated bodies?

what do you mean by challenging the exam? you mean not to take the exam because you received a positive response from the regulated bodies?

in what language? Not in English...., do not bother applying, I'm sure you failed the IELTS test, didn't you?

Today is your lucky day, a free English lesson:

verb

1. invite (someone) to engage in a contest.
2. dispute the truth or validity of.

you are so funny.....actually got a score of band 8 in International english language testing system examination and also sat for CELPIP for the purpose of applying for Permanent residency here,since it had been over 2 years( by the way sitting for an exam also means writing it, just like challenging an exam) in which i got 'advanced proficiency' in all the 4 parameters of testing.
But hey thanks for that little gesture...you opened up the dictionary for me and took the pain to go through that definition(but you also empowered yourself with a new word)......lol,childish,but cute.

you take care. ;D

FYI - To those of us born in Canada, "challenging" an exam means formally disagreeing with the results of an exam and asking for the results to be reviewed / reassessed. The word "challenging" isn't used as an equivalent to "writing" or "sitting" or "taking".

When I read your first post I assumed you were asking if it was possible to formally complain about how your certification exam was evaluated/marked.

FYI Scylla,
I am from Trades.Not born in Canada but picked up this phrase from Canada used by Canadian institutes on their official and legal Canadian websites

http://www.itabc.ca/program/plumber

Check it.In trades challenging means to write an exam, a trades license exam to be specific, if you have the necessary experience but no apprenticeship/formal school training.BUT more than 9000 hours of on the job experience.And so one 'challenges' the exam.That is, applies to write on the basis of experience.solely. AND that was my question precisely at the start of the thread.Please dont skim.Peruse before you conclude.Or as Canadians say,dont jump the gun

with all due respect to your being 'born' in canada, Not everyone knows everything.
Peace.

Hi Explorer,
Well i was a senior plumbing technician in my home country and pretty much assisted the project manager.we would do new construction plumbing in high rises commercial spaces from plant room piping,booster pumps,fire protection piping,sprinkler installation,washrooms etc to home renovation( on smaller scale though) I was in charge of that wing. Here i worked with a high-rise mechanical plumbing contractor for a year, did a bit of pipelining as well,a relatively newer technology in canada( growing fast) but huge in the US.
And i have been approved by the Ontario College of trades to challenge the licensing exam,after they assessed my experience and talked to my employers.
Hey can you tell me if Federal Skilled Trades Class is still open? I will qualify if I pass this test.any link you can forward for checking the count on applications?I called Cic a few minutes ago and they said it was still open.But I wanna see where the cap stands.

Hi Sanat
I thought you moved to Canada as FSW. Are you temporary worker? FSW is still open but your profession is not in the list. May be I am wrong. Follow the link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/complete-applications.asp. Keep in touch. Are you from India?

Regards..

yes, I am from India. I worked on a post graduate work permit for a year in plumbing.its a regulated skilled TRADE(noc B 7251) but I worked with and under the supervision of licensed master plumbers.I hired immigration consultants for my case but unfortunately they turned out to be dumb as a rock.they have no idea about the trades, just a bunch of unskilled/semi skilled women clad in business suits in downtown toronto,posing as sophisticated professionals( as professional as my shit)My only mistake that has almost cost me my career is that I trusted them with eyes shut.Now paying the price.
And my trade IS on the list NOC B 7251. It is on every list FSTP,CEC,FSWP,PNP...man only if I had been cautious enough!! I had plenty of time,the whole last year to look for employers who would sponsor me and i wud've had all these categories open for me,but the fcukn lawyers screwed me up.the more i think about it, the more I curse those dumasses man!
NVM.... what bout you? how do you find life here so far? whats ur name?
