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.

ResidentialInstitutional and commercial — schools, health centres, public buildings in expanding urban hubsCivil engineering and roads — roads, municipal infrastructure, and drainage works tied to rapid urbanizationIndustrial — industrial parks in the Joliette RCM and the outskirts of Terrebonne and Repentigny

Good to know

Your questions, answered.

I have my DEP in Structural and Architectural Erection — how do I start working on sites?

First you need to land a job guarantee from a CCQ-registered employer (minimum 150 hours over 3 months), then submit your apprentice competency certificate (CCA) application to the CCQ with your DEP transcript and ASP Construction card. Once your CCA is in hand, you can legally work on sites and start logging your apprenticeship hours.

How long before I become a journeyperson?

You need to complete 3 apprenticeship periods of 2,000 hours each, or 6,000 hours of site work, before you can sit the CCQ's provincial qualification exam. The actual timeline depends on how steady your work is — most apprentices hit that mark in 4 to 6 years.

What kind of job sites will I work on?

Most of the work (52%) is in the institutional and commercial sector — think office buildings, hospitals, schools. About 24% is in industrial (plants, refineries) and 21% in civil engineering and roads (bridges, overpasses, infrastructure). Residential is only 3% of hours.
