would anyone know of a course to help obtain the red seal i am moving with my family from london to vancouver,i have 30 years experience in electrical contracting and have heard there is alot of work for experienced electricians there?. what would you reccomend to do the conversion from uk to canadian specification,is there a short college course or anything online, i am coming to vancouver in the summer so if anyone has time to meet up for a beer, or two it would be great to get some realist information

Being an American, I can't help you with the specifics... IIRC, however, 1A (US) is about 1.17A (C)

I'm sure some of our friends from "up north" will be able to help you.

Good luck in your move and job search!
