How to study to become an electrician? Two questions, please

[vaskathecat]

1. If I choose Electrical Engineering Technology program (3 years with co-op), will it help me to work as an electrician in future? Or probably this program is too difficult for electricians?

2. Is there any college that admits students without IELTS or any other English test?

What do you mean by electrician?

If it is what it sounds like you will be overqualified but well I bet you could...

2. Is there any college that admits students without IELTS or any other English test?

Yes, several in Quebec.

What do you mean by electrician?

I mean NOC 7241 Electricians (except industrial and power system).
After i graduate from college I want to get OWP and work as an electrician for 1 year.
Is my way right for OWP? Or may be I must choose another college program?

1. To work as an electrician in Canada, you would have to complete a 5 year apprenticeship before you would be a qualified electrician.
2. Electrical Engineering Technology is not the route to becoming an electrician. Note that HRSDC doesn't issue LMOs for apprenticeships.

Thank you guys for helping me!

So, if I get a diploma and work for 1 year on co-op program, will I be able to work as an electrician in future?
Which course in college must I choose to become an electrician?
