Licensing & insurance in British Columbia
Trades in British Columbia operate under WorkSafeBC and SkilledTradesBC. Both must be confirmed — ask for the WorkSafeBC clearance letter and the journeyperson's TQ (Trade Qualification) where applicable.
Before any pro can quote on WiseTrades, our team telephones their insurer to confirm the policy is genuine and active, then validates identity documents independently. If you are hiring outside the platform, replicate that step yourself — the cost of one un-insured worksite injury wipes out a decade of contractor savings.
