I am only speaking of the work a qualified person is recognized as being Qualified to do. So if Ontario has a red seal qualification and an electrician must have obtained that level then the red seal should be recognized in all provinces. Now the permits issue is not necessarily the same. A contractor is not necessarily an electrician or even qualified to do electrical work of any kind. The guys doing the electrical work for the contractor must in most places be qualified and a red seal is supposed to be an inter-provincially recognized training for electrical work in all provinces. No one who has a red seal in any province should have to take a course or add "other" training before he can apply for a job in another province. That is federally mandated but as I said only implemented between Alberta and BC. The rest of the provinces are slowly complying but were supposed to have done it inter-provincially by now through agreements and at the provincial level. Now the Feds have to shove it down their throats. I think since AB and BC have already made formal agreements that the rest of the country will eventually adopt those or very similar agreements. I hope.
