Ontario opens new exam centre to help skilled trades apprentices get certified faster

The Ontario Government has opened a new apprenticeship exam testing centre in Kenora to support the skilled trades sector in Northwestern Ontario. Previously, apprentices in this region had to travel five hours to Thunder Bay to write their final certification exams, facing high travel costs and scheduling delays. The new centre allows local tradespeople to test closer to home, complete their training quickly, and enter the workforce sooner. Over the next ten years, Northern Ontario will need more than 21,500 skilled trades workers. This expansion makes it easier for Canadians and new immigrants to fill these in-demand jobs and build stable careers.
