Licensing & insurance in Alberta
Trades in Alberta operate under Alberta's Apprenticeship and Industry Training, plus WCB-Alberta coverage. Confirm both — ask for the WCB clearance letter and the journeyperson's certificate where applicable.
Pro approvals on WiseTrades hinge on a documented chain: identity-document scan, insurer-confirmation phone call, trade-certificate validation. Hiring outside? Mirror the chain yourself — request the certificate, phone the insurer, document the conversation. Skipping that diligence risks claim-denial outcomes that homeowners rarely recover from.
