Section 15.4 Disposition versions

2012-09-01

15.4. The Commission shall issue, on request, an exemption from the obligation to hold an occupation competency certificate to any person 16 years of age or older who is domiciled in the territory of a state or province the government of which is, together with the Government of Québec, party to a bilateral intergovernmental agreement respecting the mutual recognition of qualifications, skills and work experience in trades and occupations in the construction industry.

To obtain such an exemption, the applicant must, however, prove that he is working or has worked, in that state or province, in the carrying out of tasks corresponding to one or more occupations recognized in Québec as forming part of the construction industry; the applicant must also, in accordance with the provisions of the agreement, meet the requirements applicable to training in occupational health and safety.

The exemption issued by the Commission is valid for a term of 1 year.

Notwithstanding section 16, the Commission shall renew an expired exemption, issued under this section, where a monthly report filed with the Commission by a registered employer establishes that the holder worked in the construction industry during the 14 months preceding the renewal. It shall also renew such an exemption on request.
