Canadian provinces are collaborating to address the nation’s severe shortage of skilled trades workers. The initiative focuses on harmonizing training and certification standards while facilitating the integration of internationally skilled tradespeople into the workforce. Ontario and Nova Scotia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to enhance interprovincial mobility for tradespeople, including post-journeyman certification. This partnership aims to streamline the system, remove barriers, and create opportunities within the skilled trades ecosystem. Similar agreements are being forged between Ontario and other provinces, including Alberta, to build a stronger, more flexible skilled trades workforce across Canada. The collaborative effort recognizes the critical need for an interprovincial approach to solve mobility issues and address the growing demand for skilled tradespeople in various sectors.
