I understand the Federal Government is now forcing the provinces to get on line so a red seal is truly portable and recognized across the nation including PQ
Quite frankly I don't really ever seeing this happen. There are just too many differences in the licensing structures of the provinces and territories.
I can see the provinces making an equivalency chart of sorts at best, but take a look at Ontario for example. You don't need to be an electrician to be a Master. There are exemptions for others without licenses to do electrical work...
When I first wrote 20 + years ago, the red seal was something like 90%, but nobody even bother with it because it did not mean anything. I believe that it is 70% now, but basically still does not mean anything...
I was recently debating about writing for my red seal, but really, I don't see the need for it until it all get sorted out. It has been this way for 20+ years, I don't see it changing soon, especially with federal intervention.
Cheers
