Plumber with 10 years experience , but no RED SEAL

[RSAPlumber]

Good Day to all the insightful humans out there.

I am looking for a valid opinion to the following:
R
I am a Licensed Plumber ( NO RED SEAL ) in South Africa. I wrote the regulatory exam for plumbers in South Africa ( PIRB EXAM) coupled with over 10 years industry experience. My license can be validated by the regulatory body that controls the plumbing industry in South Africa. I have delivered numerous flawless projects with values up to $ 7, 200,000 USD (Being my latest project in Eastern Cape).

Can I immigrate with the current paperwork at hand??? Will employers or recruiters take my case if I`m willing to pay for the procedure?

Thanks

Unfortunately you don't qualify under the Federal Skilled Trade immigration program. To qualify under this program, you either need an LMIA supported job offer from an employer in Canada or you need a certificate of qualification in your trade issued by a Canadian province / territory.

I would recommend that you look into the Provincial Nominee Programs to see if you can find anything there that may be an option for you.
