Hey Adam, I would say being a 5th year apprentice should give you a strong advantage to getting jobs, because most companies are looking for experienced workers. But I really don’t know how difficult it would be for you to find a job unfortunately. Maybe you should start sending out resumes to companies and unions before moving? That might be worth a try?

Hi Kenny, is the license the same as a Red Seal, or is that another certification to word towards?

Hello, Kenny! Thanks for the detailed information! Do these routes work only for citizens or for non-citizens too? I am a non-citizen and am planning to come to Ontario from overseas and begin training to become a plumber. Since I plan to come to Ontario on a student visa, I need to go to Humber College and become a licensed plumber. Is it right for me, as a non-citizen, to become a licensed plumber and remain in Canada? I apologize for the very big question.

Hi Abbie, glad the video was helpful. You will be registered as an apprentice only if there is a licensed plumber with no current registered apprentice. And in Ontario the city sends you an invitation to go to school each time (basic, intermediate, and advanced) after you register with the city as an official apprentices. I hope this makes sense, please let me know if you need further clarification!

@@Kennymolotov Hi Kenny, hoping you could help. I am currently enrolled to do a pre-apprenticeship plumbing program at either Sheridan or Humber college. I am also currently looking for someone to take me on to potentially get my hands dirty and skip out on taking the course. In your opinion, for someone with virtually 0 knowledge about the trade which route would be best? Which setting would be best to learn the basics in? Also if i get taken on as a “first year apprentice” say without the program, would I be an apprentice without a licensed plumber? So my work hours are still recognized as hours in the field however not towards the 9000hours needed to become registered until a licensed plumber takes me on? I hope that made sense and i hope you can help. Thank you Kenny!

What’s the different between pre apprentice and plumbing techqniques program? As a newbie . Can I go for plumbing techniques? Also do I have to register with the board before started a job as an apprentice

@Kennymolotov

3 жыл бұрын

From what I understand Jannelle a pre-apprentice and plumbing techniques courses are both pre-apprenticeship (it’s best if you double check that with the school you’re looking at). If you are not a registered apprentice you can take a pre-apprenticeship course. You have to register with the city as an official apprentice before going through your apprenticeship. Hope this helps!

Hi Thanks for video. Question: Do the plumbing company that i have the apprenticeship program signed with sends me to school for the basic, interm, and advance courses? and if they do when do they sand me to do the course? and what school? Do they pay for it or i do? How much approx? U said is 8 weeks for 3 of them so roughly 2 week in school for each course right? P.S what school for pre-apprenticeship plumbing program would u recommend? Thx once again.

Do you have any thoughts on how the removal of the Ontario college of trades will affect new apprentices? I've read flooding of new people could lead to unsafe job sites and lower wages for new licensed plumbers. Hoping that's not the case.

Some companies like condominiums will ask you for your license before you start working. They won’t hire plumbers unless they are licensed. But some families do not ask for the license to work on their homes.

From Toronto and can't even get a interview even after I finished my pre-apprenticeship program. I did what you said in the video and I just get told that they'll get back to me but there never do. If you're asking if I followed up afterwards when they didn't get back to me, I did and they just said the same thing. I though it was my resume but I've gone over it dozens of times, am I doing something wrong? Would really appreciate if you could give me any other tips or advice.

Kevin I would say it might be time to start approaching the companies in person. See if you can show up to the shops with pliers and screwdrivers in your pocket and see if that will help.

@@rudy478 Kind of, I got 2 offers for a working at 2 local plumbing companies but they both pulled the same trick. Job post said 1st year apprentice and would register new apprentices but when I got to the interview is was to do all the laboring work. Both also said that I would be able to record my hours so when I did get registered I could use them so I don't start at the very beginning. This was a lie cuz you have to work with a journey man in order to use those hours for your apprenticeship and also a journey man can only have one apprentice working under him, no labor workers. I know this cuz I looked it up and my former teacher and GBC Rainier Blundell told me this when I asked him what I should look out for in the job market cuz I don't have any connections in the plumbing world. And yes I asked if he could help me out in this situation and all the people that he would of been able to source out to me are rather working as a teacher or retired.

The drug test also wasn’t in the work policy handbook they sent me so idk if they are still allowed to do so. I would never smoke before or during work hours and im not a frequent user at all i’ve only smoked 3-4 times in the last 6 months but i’ve partaken few days ago before i got the call for the interview. So my question is if they companies will drug test before u start working. please answer soon
