Working in Alberta with an Expired Out-of-Province Trade Credential

Alberta recognizes certain trade credentials from other provinces and territories for eligibility to work in a designated trade in Alberta.

An individual holding an expired, out-of-province trade credential with a Red Seal endorsement for a trade that is designated in Alberta may work in the province.

Although some jurisdictions have expiry dates on their trade credential, the Red Seal endorsement does not expire.
The Red Seal Program supports the mobility of apprentices and skilled tradespeople across Canada.
Tradespeople who hold an expired, out-of-province trade credential with a Red Seal endorsement can work in Alberta without further training or examinations.

An individual holding an expired, out-of-province trade credential without a Red Seal endorsement for a trade that is designated in Alberta may not work in the province in a trade with restricted activities.
