Apprenticeship support in Canada

Apprentices earn while working but often need support during in-school technical training terms.

Federal supports

Federal measures for apprentices in designated Red Seal trades have existed in various forms, including grants and apprentice loans. Check current availability before relying on any of them.

Provincial supports

Provinces administer registration, technical training seats and, in some cases, allowances or travel support.

Employment Insurance

Apprentices in technical training may be able to claim EI for those periods. Apply early and follow the process your training provider describes.
