Hi kassiopeq,
I was also contemplating to apply under NOC 7215. Can you shed some information about the trade apprentice certificate requirement for this NOC?
I have work experience and on the Job training, but no apprentice certification. Should this be a hindrance? can I apply without the apprentice certificate? Await your response.
Thanks
Endurance
Hello Everyone,
First let me thank you Samirsa and Mayonnaise for your responds to my post. We are still awaiting any sign from CIC in regards of our application. Nothing else to do but wait, unfortunately.
Endurance, we didn't submit any apprentice certificates. We submitted letters from the manager of the company, where my husband worked as an apprentice carpenter. He also has several years of supervisory/management experience in carpentry trade, for which we obtained a reference from his manager. Each letter contained information about the company he worked for along with his title in the company, detailed list of his duties and responsibilities, worked hours a week (full time/ part time) and compensation. We attached also business cards for contact information. It is also good if those letters are printed on company's stationary paper, although a business card should also do... Make sure, also, that your manager signs the letter.
I hope this helps. I know it is somewhat difficult figuring out every little thing.
Good luck everyone. Keep posting
