you have to be a licenced electrician for 3yrs. take the pre-master electrician course and write the masters exam.once you pass you can register to become an electrical contactor. visit esca website

here is the link to the ESA contractor page.

In the case of an individual, be at least 18 years of age;

Have public liability and property damage insurance coverage of at least $2,000,000;

Not owe the ESA any money for which payments arrangements have not been made.

I am in the process of getting my masters. The inspector was telling us of a guy who put an add in yellow.ca who was not a registered elecrical contractor. Within 3 weeks he received registered mail asking him to remove his add or be fined! They are really cracking down out there. The inspector said that they are handing out fines whether your lisenced or not. If you don't meet there requirments, then your working illegally.
