Montérégie
The area, in brief
Montérégie accounts for 18.6% of Quebec's jobs and posts a 7.5% construction employment rate, above the provincial average (7.0%), backed by a top-tier manufacturing base in Quebec (12.9% of regional jobs). Its strong population growth on Montreal's South Shore and dense industrial fabric — agri-food, pharmaceutical, transportation — make it one of the most active regions in Quebec for industrial, institutional, and residential construction.

Good to know
Your questions, answered.
Do I need a DEP in Electricity to get into the trade?
It's the most common and direct path: the DEP in Electricity (1,800 hours at a vocational training centre) gets you a CCQ apprentice certificate right at graduation, with a 150-hour job guarantee. Other entry paths exist too (experience recognition, labour pools) — check ccq.org directly to see which one applies to your situation.
How long before I'm a journeyperson at full rate?
You need to log 8,000 apprenticeship hours across 4 periods of 2,000 hours each, then pass the provincial qualification exam. Working full-time, that's roughly 4 to 5 years. Your rate climbs with each period — you start at 50% of journeyperson rate in period 1 and reach 85% by period 4.
Which sector has the most work for electricians in Quebec?
Institutional-commercial accounted for 68% of hours worked by electricians in 2024, followed by industrial (14%), civil engineering (9%), and residential (9%). In practice, most positions are on commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, and major infrastructure projects.
