Aprrenticeship Transfer

admin

Just looking for some information.  I moved to Ontario with my family from Calgary Alberta during high school and since have become a registered apprentice in Ontario as a platefitter/fabricator.  I now want to move back to Alberta but I want to get some information about transfering my apprenticeship, if it is even possible, I know my trade is registed as a red seal trade in both provinces but can I transfer to Alberta and still maintain my same level of apprenticeship as i have gained in ontario? If so, how might I go about it?

Reply:Don't you have a Union Hall you could talk to? I think they should have the answer. If your an apprentice don't you have classes you have to attend some time. The Piledrivers Hall here just called in 3 apprentices  to take classes for a month. I never went though an apprenticeship but would be a little upset if I got yanked off a scale job to attend class when the job ends in a month anyway. Who knows when these guys will get back into the field.
