15.3. A person 16 years of age or older domiciled elsewhere in Canada may, upon application, be exempted by the Commission from the obligation to hold an occupation competency certificate for the carrying on of an occupation in one of the regions provided for in an intergovernmental agreement to which the Gouvernement du Québec is a party.
That person must specify the duration of the work and the region of the construction site concerned and prove, by means of supporting documents, that he has worked 750 hours or more within the scope of the carrying on of an occupation within or outside Québec.
The exemption issued by the Commission is valid for the duration of the work specified in 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.
The number of exemptions issued by the Commission may not exceed the number provided for in the intergovernmental agreement.
