Overtime applies after 44 hours per week at 1.5 times the regular rate in Ontario and similar rules in other provinces. These figures exclude union premiums which can add CAD 5-8 per hour.
What work permit is required for foreign plumbers to work legally in Canada in 2026?
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada requires foreign plumbers to obtain a work permit under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, with a valid Labour Market Impact Assessment from Service Canada dated no older than 6 months. Applicants must also hold a valid Red Seal endorsement or provincial certificate and apply through the IRCC portal before arrival. Processing takes 8-12 weeks as of 2026.

Employment and Social Development Canada states that plumbers must complete a 4-5 year apprenticeship program with 7200 hours of on-the-job training plus 720 hours of technical training, followed by the Red Seal exam. Provincial trade certification from bodies like Skilled Trades Ontario is mandatory before independent work. No experience exemptions apply after 2025 regulatory updates.

Service Canada requires a valid Social Insurance Number, Red Seal certificate or provincial licence, and a completed Job Bank profile with proof of Canadian work experience or apprenticeship records.
