What is the Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement (TILMA) between British Columbia and Alberta?
The Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement (TILMA) was signed by the governments of Alberta and British Columbia in 2006 to ease the movement of goods, services, investment and workers between Alberta and British Columbia. It came into effect on April 1, 2007 and was fully implemented on April 1, 2009, following the conclusion of a two-year transition period. The TILMA required individuals who are qualified or certified in a trade or occupation in one province to be recognized by the other province as qualified to practice that trade or occupation in that province without significant additional training, experience, examination or assessment of qualifications.
