Licences and registers to check
- Skilled Trades Ontario: public registerShows whether a person holds a certificate (or is a registered apprentice) in one of Ontario's compulsory trades, with the certificate's expiry date. Plumbing, both electrician trades, residential air conditioning and sheet metal work are compulsory trades.Check the register →
- WSIB: clearance certificate searchShows whether a business is registered with the WSIB and in good standing. The WSIB says a homeowner hiring a contractor for repairs or renovations isn't required to hold a clearance; many ask for one anyway.Check the register →
Questions people ask before hiring
- What is your licence or certificate number, and can I check it on the register?
- Does the work need a permit or a notification, and who files it?
- Is there a written quote with the scope, the price and the schedule?
- Can you show a WSIB clearance and proof of liability insurance?
