Plumbing work in Quebec is regulated through two bodies. The Corporation des maîtres mécaniciens en tuyauterie du Québec (CMMTQ) acts as mandatary of the RBQ, issuing contractor licences for plumbing and heating work (subclass 15.5 for plumbing). The CMMTQ verifies the professional qualifications of plumbing and heating contractors. Individual plumbers working on construction sites must hold a CCQ journeyman competency certificate. The plumber apprenticeship consists of four periods of 2,000 hours each (8,000 hours total, approximately 4 years). Alternatively, a Diploma of Vocational Studies (DEP) in plumbing and heating (1,680 hours) combined with work experience can lead to qualification. All plumbing work must comply with the Quebec Construction Code. Red Seal endorsement is available.
