Can sombody please tell me how many hours/years work experience you have to have to qualifie for an work permit. My husband is a plumber and that is what he wants to do in Canada.

Many thanks

Eligibility for a work permit is not always based on the amount of experience. In the majority of cases it is not a factor. In the case of a plumber, the critical element will be evidence of the Canadian employer's inability to find a Canadian for the position. This refers to a Service Canada Confirmation, described within this site.
