The new Investment Tax Credits require that 10% of the total work hours on an eligible project be performed by registered Red Seal trade apprentices. 

This requirement helps grow the skilled trades workforce by ensuring new skilled trades workers can earn while they learn, accumulating hours towards their Red Seal. 

Canada’s Building Trades Unions is supporting companies in sourcing apprentices for their projects to help them meet the ITC labour conditions. We’ll work with our union locals to source apprentices available to be hired, and ensure you meet your minimum due diligence requirements.

For more information on the apprenticeship requirements, please visit the CRA website for information on your obligations.
