Red Seal Certification creates common standards to evaluate the abilities of tradespeople across Canada, with each industry closely involved in setting up the national standards for all 55 Red Seal professions. Many of which are outlined below. The Canadian Council of Directors of Apprenticeship (CCDA) is responsible for the Red Seal Certification, which provides a standardized evaluation that all provinces and territories accept. The CCDA has members from all across the country who contribute to making this certification happen.
The Red Seal certification can be helpful for tradespeople who are immigrating to Canada. It can help them get a work permit or apply for permanent residence and increase their chances of success.
