Man... you have no idea how helpful this video was. Thank you. I just completed a pre-apprenticeship program here in Ontario and have been down applying a bunch to some local business and contractors. Keeping my head up, but my biggest worry is whether I'd still be able to do my passion (also music, I'm a guitarist and producer) throughout electrical work. To hear you say you stopped doing electrical to pursue your beats is exactly what I need to hear. Thank you & keep up the good work!

Yes, get your career first, and save your money. The music industry is very hard to make all your money alone, so if you have money coming in from a reliable source, it makes music fun and enjoyable in the long-term. (Here's my music if interested: itsGratuiTous.com/music/)

Thanks for making this video, it was VERY helpful off the bat! I did 4 years of uni and graduated with a B.A. but my field was quite broad and I've struggled to find meaningful work. Just today I've been looking over the trades and becoming an Electrician to me seems most interesting, so I think I'm going to shoot for it. I live in Ontario but would love to consider living anywhere in Canada, and so I was quite glad to have read that you have that ability once you meet that Interprovincial standard. It does seem a bit daunting getting started in the field because you have options, but the options are what make it also a welcoming field to get into as there as multiple methods of entry. Thanks again!

You are welcome.. hope the best with your choice. You may also want to look into new construction plumbing, too.. I always noticed they have a lot more variety and not so repetitive. Overall the electrical industry will give you a good experience, and pay you half decent while working for a company.

I am in Ontario, I have been trying to become an electrician the traditional apprenticeship route for four years. Seems like nobody wants anyone without any training anymore. I luckily was laid off recently and was able to get into a one year Electrical Techniques program while still being on EI. Also, are hours different per province because I could have sworn its 9000 hours.
@BecomingAnElectrician
@BecomingAnElectrician Год назад
Yes, I think hours are different for each province. And yeah, sometimes it's hard to get a job as an apprentice, but it depends on the environment.. if workers are needed, they'll hire anyone, if things are tight, it's harder to get a job as an electrical apprentice.

I'm an immigrant from Scotland living in Eastern Ontario. Been here 10 years now but had issues with employment due to health issues in the past. After being a mess for a few years and being as healthy as I can be, I think Electrical work is my calling. I'm 34 now but I've been building my own PCs for 20 years and have been a Microsoft certified technician in the past after doing Computer Tech in at the local technical college before I moved so I feel I'm technically minded and could be an asset. Was in warehouse work before but was treated like crap because I'm partially blind in one eye and was seen from there as "completely disposable". Real quote. I'll be visiting my local employment center when my daughter returns to school and hopefully begin my journey towards apprenticeship. I really hope this is the beginning of my redemption arc and I can return in a year to say I'm now an apprentice electrician and in a mentally and financially better place. Enough about me, great video and thanks for inspiring so many different folk to enter the trade

I considered taking up the electrical trade, but had doubts, mainly in myself. However, my fiance boldy told me, "You can do this!" So here I am. Thank you for the video, as I will continue to like, share and watch your videos, as I really could use all the help I can get from them.

Does the process to become industrial electrician is the same? I'm from Brazil with more than 7 years working as industrial electrician in cement factory, package company and at the moment I'm working in an underground copper mining industry in Portugal. I'm going to Canada to work on a closed visa as general construction labour as I worked 3 years in construction in Australia, the thing is that I'd like one day to work as industrial electrician in Canada, after I finish the contract with the company I'm going to work with. What advice would you give me, what steps should I follow to be ready to look for a job in industry when the time comes. Your video explains very well the process and I'm glad I've found your videos on RU-vid, thanks for that.

Yes if you do, you'll be able to have a decent career to move forward in life.. it's not easy, especially if you do not have good people teaching you, but you're never stuck anywhere, because there's usually quite a bit of work around.. always listen closely to what people say, they often want to pass on tricks (this includes not other electricians.. other people on site are usually pretty down to earth and knowledgeable.. which can give you better insight!)

You need to work for an employer before you become an apprentice - They will sign you up with the authorities governing your apprenticeship, where your employer has to submit your hours. The easiest way to get started is with a "pre-apprenticeship" class.. or you can try to apply places and get hired!

@BecomingAnElectrician
@BecomingAnElectrician 3 дня назад
I'd say first see if your school has a program to get you started doing your apprenticeship during school. That will save you a year, and get you ahead faster. If they don't offer that, maybe look for a high school that does. If not, then I would say in your last couple months of high school you can start reaching out to electrical employers with a resume telling them you're eager to start learning the trade! becoming-an-electrician.com/

Hey just a quick question, for the four levels of schooling, was the "Canadian electrical code part one", the only texbook taught? Or were there more textbooks taught?
@BecomingAnElectrician
@BecomingAnElectrician 10 месяцев назад
It was just the one code book. So yes, "Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1". They used to come out every 4 years, but think they switched to every 3 years.. it really put a burden on the teachers by not being able to keep up with changing questions and answers to match the code book.. sometimes we'd be on different code book versions at the same time with conflicting answers.. it was a bad learning environment.. hope things are easier for you in class!

@@zohahs5276 You can join a union, or just work for non-union electrical companies. Your schooling I think is the same. Either way you go, the company will register you as an apprentice. I've only done non-union, so don't know the ins-and-outs of union, but being non-union you can jump around to different companies for where the current work is. In short, a company has to register you as an apprentice electrician. You can start working without schooling, your employer trains you. Then you go to school, and your employer submits your hours.

In this case, it sounds like you will first start working! Then after about 9 months, you will book your schooling, which lasts about 3 months (9~ weeks), then you go back to work for another year, then back to school. It's nice to time school around winter time! You can read some more on my blog post: becoming-an-electrician.com/how-to-become-an-apprentice-electrician/

Hi, I have been working in accounting for 9 years in Vancouver, BC. I make $53K per year. I have a Bachelor's Degree. I am 38. I think I have reached my ceiling of the salary. It's very difficult for me to make more. Also, I feel the developing AI will keep reducing the career and job opportunities of accounting. On the other hand, I have been thinking about being a electrician for some years. I am interested in the works and the knowledge. 1) Do you think it's worth for me take the program of Electrical Foundation in BCIT ($4,500 Tuition) or Vancouver Career College ($13,000 Tuition) to change my career as a electrician? 2) After the program, I need to be an apprentice electrician. Do you think I will make so little money, which is much less than $53K per year? 3) I am 38, but I am fit. I look young too. However do you think most employers are only willing to hire the young people, who just graduated from high schools and post secondary, as the apprentice electricians? Would you please advise? Thank you!

Hey, what are the new changes happening about schooling? That's twice today I've been notified about that! During my years, pre-apprenticeship gave you 1st year & some hours. (Sometimes they'd help you find work, too!) I don't think it matters if you're union or non-union, your hours will apply to your apprenticeship. Usually you work about 9 months, then go to school for about 3 months (~10 weeks). It's best to time it to go to school in the winter so it's warm 🥶 Please leave a comment on this page here, you can also read other's questions, too!: becoming-an-electrician.com/how-to-become-an-apprentice-electrician/

hey, im wondering if you have to sign up for ITA before enrolling into an apprenticeship program? ive noticed that schools require that but im unsure about personal businesses and outside companies, as well as construction unions. what are your thoughts on the likelihood of being accepted into a trades program with no prior experience as well?
@BecomingAnElectrician

The likelihood would be lower without any training, but you can get it! I did it without any schooling.. it's just all about timing and what the industry is demanding right now (if they need lots of workers and can see you're interested). I think the school signs you up with ITA.. I would reach out to a local school and ask them your questions, they'll guide you!

Thank you for the video. I have a question. I'm a foreigner and I want to do an electrician in Canada, but before that, I'd like to do a two-year college program in Alberta. I understand that only permanent residents can do the electrical apprenticeship process. If Alberta gives me permanent residency if I graduate from two years, do I have to go through four years of apprenticeship after graduating from two years? Then does it take six years? Or what level can I start if I have an electrical apprenticeship after graduating from the two-year system? No matter how much I search, I can't find a way to become an electrician from a foreigner's point of view, so I'm asking you a question. I'd appreciate it if you could answer.

@BecomingAnElectrician
@BecomingAnElectrician 2 месяца назад
It is a bit heavy on math, but once you learn the core formulas, you will be able to follow along pretty well. It's not as intense as something like calculus, but there's Pythagorean theorem, basic multiply / divide, understanding electrical science, and sometimes things like Horse Power, and other things. But you will learn it in school as you go along. On the jobsite, the math isn't required as much as you may think, as a lot of that is figured out from the electrical engineer who designs the prints, we just follow the prints. But in school, yes there is lots of math, but it's not super intense math, but intermediate. becoming-an-electrician.com/

Can you explain the "red seal"?
@BecomingAnElectrician
@BecomingAnElectrician 6 месяцев назад
Hey sure. In Canada, some trades are "Red Seal", some are not. Electrical is Red Seal, meaning that the certification can be used anywhere in Canada (except Quebec, I think). To get your Red Seal, you need to have a certain amount of hours & pass all your schooling to get the Red Seal (electrical ticket). The apprenticeship works by getting hired with an electrical employer, who becomes your sponsor. This sponsor is in charge of submitting your hours and your apprenticeship (make sure they submit your hours!). You can switch sponsors (companies), who will then take over managing your apprenticeship. You usually go to work for 9 months, then school for 3 months (each province can be a little different). The goal is to get hands-on experience @ work, while accumulating working hours. Then when you go to school, you are required to get 70% minimum to pass. There's 4 years total. If you pass all 4 years, get become a ticketed electrician in your province. You then get another test about a week after, which is the Red Seal exam, and then that allows you to work all across Canada (except Quebec I think). There is usually an online portal to track your hours and schooling grades. Your sponsor then has to sign off on you to tell the Apprenticeship Authority that you are capable and ready to become a journey person.

I did my apprenticeship without pre-app personally.. I think it's just if you can find a job and someone willing to hire you! Here's more info if you'd like: becoming-an-electrician.com/immigrate-to-canada-as-an-electrician/

Hi, I have a question, i really wanna become an electrician, but struggling to start this career, should I go for pre-apprenticeship school, if yes, can i expect to be hired by a company if I finish my pre-apprenticeship program. Thanks

@BecomingAnElectrician 9 месяцев назад
Hey there! I cannot promise a job, but typically a pre-apprenticeship program may help find you an employer. You can also try to apply at random companies and hope you land an interview!

Usually there's just one course for residential/commercial electricians here in Canada for your apprenticeship level.. sometimes I've seen an industrial electrician schooling option..

Is this applicable also for any electrician planning to migrate and work to Canada? I am a License electrician in my country, but I know, Canada I think doesn't honor it right. and if you have any recommendation for me, before I start my migration to Canada. thanks

@BecomingAnElectrician 2 года назад
Hey Jason, I hope the best with coming to Canada and working as an electrician! I remember working with quite a few foreign people (from Europe, Ireland, Australia, etc.) .. I know there is some type of program in place that honors what you have already worked towards.. I would highly suggest contacting the local schooling department in regards to your questions, they will advise you before you make your move! Also, make sure you are making the call to the proper PROVINCE you are moving to!

Hi! Yes, your company will get you all registered. My best advice is to reach out to a local college to ask your questions about how to become an apprentice electrician in Canada, as rules change often. They understand all the program details, and any grants you may have available to you!!

No, money will be tight for the first couple years of your apprenticeship, but eventually you'll get there. Lots to learn about tools, materials, and life in general.. could be a good path for you
