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.
The rate
Between $22.68 and $48.45 / hour (May 2025, depending on sector and apprenticeship period)
Wage rates are set by CCQ collective agreements and vary by sector (residential, institutional-commercial, industrial, civil engineering and roads) and apprenticeship period. Check the official current rate grid at ccq.org/fr-CA/avantages-sociaux/salaire-taux.
Good to know
Your questions, answered.
I've got my Plumbing-Heating DEP. How do I get my CCQ card to work on job sites?
You submit proof of your DEP to the CCQ along with a job guarantee from a CCQ-registered employer for a minimum of 150 hours over 3 consecutive months. That gets you the apprentice competency certificate (CCA). From there, you log 4 periods of 2,000 apprenticeship hours on site, then pass the provincial qualification exam to become a journeyperson.
Which sector will I work in most as a pipefitter?
In 2024, 72% of hours worked by pipefitters in Quebec were in institutional-commercial — hospitals, schools, office buildings, shopping centres. Residential is 16% of hours, industrial 9%, and civil engineering 3%.
Is this a stable trade? Is there work right now?
Yes. In 2024, 1,701 companies were looking for pipefitters in Quebec. The CCQ projects needs of 16,000 workers per year across the industry through 2029, and qualified labour availability is rated low. It's one of the trades where finding work is generally easier than in many others.
