There is a question that says: Do you have a certificate of qualification from a Canadian province, territory or federal body?

According to Ontario.ca website:
To qualify and practise in the building and development sector a building practitioner must:
  1. pass examinations for each of their practices
  2. register with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing though the Qualification and Registration Tracking System (QuARTS)
  3. pay the annual fees
Does becoming a registered building practitioner in Ontario by getting the BCIN count for those extra points?
Has anyone with a BCIN done this before, and got the extra points?

Thanks in advance.

Certificate is for trades. What is the NOC for this trade?

So is only for trades, thanks for your response, this is what the website says:

"The Building Code Act requires the following individuals and firms to be qualified and registered with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH):
  • Chief Building Officials
  • Managers and Supervisors
  • Inspectors, including Plan Examiners, On-Site Sewage System Inspectors, Plumbing Inspectors and Fire Protection Inspectors
  • Certain classes of Designers, including Independent Designers and Design Firms
  • On-Site Sewage System Installers"
Was thinking about 22212 - Drafting technologists and technicians which includes Design and drafting technologist, and others., or, 52121 - Interior designers and interior decorators. But guess these are not trades, right?

So for NOC 22212, your trade certification is for a draftsperson so check Red Seal. Interior designers don’t need red seal. This is not a trade certification.
