Trade certification in Canada falls under provincial jurisdiction, with each province outlining which trades are regulated and establishing relevant regulatory bodies.

For trade workers seeking to qualify, an approved offer of employment from a Canadian employer for one year or more is essential. The job offer will be evaluated to ensure it is an eligible trade and that hiring will have a neutral effect on the Canadian labor market.
