R-20, r. 5 - Regulation respecting the issuance of competency certificates

Section 30 Disposition versions

2016-03-10

30. On 10 March 2016, the Commission issues automatically, with no fee, an apprentice competency certificate to a person 16 years of age or over who

(1)  on that date, is domiciled in the territory situated north of the 55th parallel of north latitude, except Category IB-N lands intended for the Naskapi community of Kawawachikamach, Category IA and IB lands intended for the Cree community of Whapmagoostui and Category II lands on which only that community has exclusive rights, as the lands are so designated in the Act respecting the land regime in the James Bay and New Québec territories (chapter R-13.1);

(2)  is exempt from the obligation to hold an apprentice competency certificate issued by the Commission that is valid on that date; and

(3)  on that date, has provided an attestation that he or she has successfully completed a health and safety course required under the Safety Code for the construction industry (chapter S-2.1, r. 4).

The apprentice competency certificate thus issued corresponds to the trade covered by the exemption and may be renewed on the conditions set out in this Regulation.

Despite the foregoing, on 10 March 2018, every apprentice competency certificate initially issued under this section is cancelled and may not be renewed despite any provision to the contrary, if the holder does not demonstrate that he or she meets, on that date, the admission requirements prescribed in basic school regulations made under the Education Act (chapter I-13.3), for programs of studies leading to a vocational training diploma pertaining to the trade indicated in the application.

At the same time as the Commission issues an apprentice competency certificate under this section, it cancels the exemption referred to in subparagraph 2 of the first paragraph.
