Painter license

Painting in the Province is trade #404C and is a voluntary trade classification; therefore you do not require a Certificate of Qualification (CofQ) in this province.

Having said that, some places will require a CofQ from you if it is in their policy.

If the painter is on work visa than yes but if the painter is legally working in Canada then some are better then others what I do is I give him one room to do and then make a decision.

As far as I know painting is a volountary trade in all provinces except for Quebec and so they would not require a license to operate. Keep in mind however that any sole proprietor should obtain a master business license to operate legally.

Not that I know of (in Alberta anyways).

Some jobsites do specify only Journeyman or apprentice painters though. Journeyman painters will be able to provide their certificate upon request.

No a trade liscence is not required . Local city permitt and appropriate insurances is all that is needed.
