Bill 169 amends the Ontario College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act, 2009 to change when statements of membership for journeyperson candidates expire and to remove an expiry date related to previous apprenticeship agreements.
This bill amends the Ontario College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act, 2009. It changes the rules for how long a 'statement of membership' lasts for people in the 'journeyperson candidates class.' Instead of expiring after one year, it will now only expire when the person receives their certificate of qualification. The bill also removes an expiry date related to people who had valid training or apprenticeship agreements before this Act, and changes the wording related to applying for a statement of membership.
- Changes the expiry condition for statements of membership for individuals in the journeyperson candidates class.
- Removes an expiry date for individuals who previously held valid training or apprenticeship agreements.
- Amends wording related to the application and fees for obtaining a statement of membership as an apprentice.

- Individuals who previously held valid training agreements registered under the Apprenticeship and Certification Act, 1998 or valid apprenticeship contracts filed under the Trades Qualification and Apprenticeship Act.

- Statements of membership for the journeyperson candidates class will now expire only upon the issuance of a certificate of qualification.
- Previous expiry dates and conditions for individuals with prior training or apprenticeship agreements are removed or altered.
- This Act comes into force on the day it receives Royal Assent.
- The bill amends the conditions under which fees are paid for statements of membership, specifically by striking out a phrase related to fees being paid before an expiry date that is now being removed.
- The specific criteria for the 'journeyperson candidates class' are not detailed in this bill text, but are stated to be prescribed by regulation.
