Section 15.1 Disposition versions

2012-09-01

15.1. A person 16 years of age or older admitted to the apprenticeship under an apprenticeship program established outside Québec may, upon application, be exempted by the Commission from the obligation to hold an apprentice competency certificate where such exemption is the subject of an intergovernmental agreement to which the Gouvernement du Québec is a party.

The application must:

(1)  be supported by an employer who proves that the person has worked for him 1,500 hours or more as an apprentice in the trade for which the exemption is applied for, within or outside Québec, during the first 24 months of the 26 months preceding the application;

(2)  be accompanied by a document proving that the hours of work carried out outside Québec have previously been validated by a body having competence to do so and recognized for that purpose under the intergovernmental agreement;

(3)  be accompanied by an employment guarantee, duly validated by the employer, specifying the approximate duration of the work to be carried out in Québec.

The exemption issued by the Commission is valid for the duration of the work specified in the application and in respect of the employer who supports the application. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exemption is of a duration of not more than 3 months and is restricted to the construction site to which the application applies.
