Hire skilled trades in Ontario.We check the licence, you don't.
Applicants give their trade licence number when they apply. We look it up on the Skilled Trades Ontario register and mark the application verified, under review, or unverified. TSSA gas tickets have no public lookup, so we mark those under review.
Founding rate: $49/mo for life instead of $99 — for the first 100 employers.
Finding a licensed tradesperson is the hard part.
Certified trades are the hardest roles in Ontario to fill — and the ones where getting it wrong carries real consequences.
The licensed ones aren't applying
Post on a general board and your role sits between warehouse and retail listings, in front of people who can't legally do the work.
You're the one checking credentials
Someone says they're a certified 313A. Now it's on you to confirm it — or to take their word and hope.
Getting it wrong isn't just a bad hire
Compulsory trades work performed by an unlicensed worker is illegal in Ontario. The exposure is yours, not the job board's.
Who you're dealing with
I'm Valerii. I built WorkCA and I run it from Ontario. When you send this form, it comes to me. I write your posting, send it to you to check, and nothing goes live until you say so. Questions, just email me: support@work-ca.ca

Review & hire
Shortlist, mark candidates reviewed or accepted, and reach out — all from your dashboard.
Built for compulsory-trade hiring.
Trades workers already find WorkCA searching for HVAC, installer and driver roles across Ontario. Every job on the board is a trades job, so your posting is seen by the people you want.
Licences checked against the source
Every licence number is looked up on the Skilled Trades Ontario public register, not scraped and not self-declared. TSSA gas tickets have no public lookup, so those stay under review. Each application shows verified, under review, or unverified.
One price, unlimited postings
$49 a month covers every role you post. No per-listing fees, no paying extra so your own job is visible.
Canadian, including the data
Applicant information is stored in Canada under PIPEDA.
One good hire pays for years of this.
A single bad trades hire costs more than a year of WorkCA. The founding rate is $49 a month, for life.
