Where abouts in Canada do you want to come to, and what type of welding experience do you have?
Some Provinces require a C of Q (Certificate of Qualification) as a Welder, but in others it is a voluntary trade. I would suggest you obtain a leter from your previous employer(s) stating your work experience in the field you wish to pursue. If you can pass a CWB (Canadian Welding Bureau) practical test or TSSA (Technical Standards and Safety Authority) test for pressure vessels or pipe, you would most likely be welcome here!

Give me more details, and I'll get you whatever info you need!
