The Red Seal Program encourages the equality of provincial and territorial apprenticeship training and certification programs. The Red Seal allows qualified tradespersons to practice the trade in any province or territory in Canada where the trade is designated without having to write further examinations.
To date, there are 49 trades included in the Red Seal Program on a national basis. An Interprovincial Standards Red Seal can be obtained in the trades designated as Red Seal by either graduating from a recognized provincial or territorial apprenticeship training program or obtaining a Journeyperson level certificate from a province or territory and passing the Interprovincial Standards Examination for that trade.
