So I'm a level C welder and I'm sick of not getting any response from employers that I apply at.
Is there ANYONE at all ANYWHERE in Canada willing to apprentice me or even take me as a helper? I'm a fast learner and more importan I am RELIABLE. I've worked at the same grocery store for 5 years now and haven't missed one shift (I'm 20 years old).
Sorry if this seems like a desperate call, but that's what it is.

I would also be interested in a mechanic apprenticeship since that's pretty much what I'm designed for...

Thanks1

Try applying to Union Halls out there man, there are a few trades that will start you out at a decent wage $20/hr min usually:

Millwrights
http://www.millwrights2736.com/
BoilerMakers
http://www.boilermakers359.org/
Pipefitters

They all offer Pensions, in school training, and union protection which is a key to job security in this day and age.

Good Luck.

Those links are great if I want to join another trade, but those require me to go back to school and train as a boiler maker/millwright, etc.
What I'm hoping for is to weld/help and get 800 hours in so I can go back to school and get my B pressure ticket and head to Alberta.

Or let me work on RX7's, I'm great at that

No, it's an apprenticeship, you work 2000 hours and go to school, same with any trade. The Union halls I listed all have welders in them Boilermakers are pressure welders and are Pipefitters, through the Union Hall you can work in Alberta, we have 1000's of travel cards from all over on our jobs.

Just a FYI having your C ticket doesn't mean you have a trade, you just have a ticket that expires every 6 months or 12, I can't remember because my All Position expires after every job; if Alberta works like Ontario that ticket is null and void from shop to shop and have to re-certify.
