Lanaudière

The area, in brief

Construction accounts for 12% of total employment in Lanaudière, nearly double the Quebec average (7%), per the Portrait socioéconomique from the Quebec government (quebec.ca). The region shows projected population growth of 3.8% between 2024 and 2029 — bucking the province-wide slowdown expected elsewhere — which supports sustained demand for housing and infrastructure.

Good to know

Your questions, answered.

I have my DEP but no CCQ card yet — where do I start?

You need to find a CCQ-registered employer who can guarantee you at least 150 hours of work over three consecutive months. With that job guarantee in hand, you apply for your apprentice card (CCA) with the CCQ, pay the $100 fee, and complete the 30-hour health and safety course if you haven't already. After that, you can legally work on sites.

How long before I get my journeyperson card?

You need to log 6,000 hours across three apprenticeship periods of 2,000 hours each, then pass the CCQ's provincial qualification exam. Working full-time, that's roughly three to four years on site. Some specialties, like formworker or deep foundation installer, only require 4,000 hours.

What kind of job sites will I work on?

As a carpenter, you can work across all four CCQ sectors: residential (houses, condos, apartments), institutional-commercial (schools, hospitals, offices, retail), industrial (plants, refineries), and civil engineering (infrastructure, bridges, concrete formwork). Per 2024 CCQ data, about 50% of carpenters work in institutional-commercial and 38% in residential.
