Hello, for the 313A Exam (Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Systems Mechanic) in Ontario, would it be recognized in Alberta? Also, is it considered as a Red Seal exam? The reason I'm asking is that the Alberta website says "Tradespeople who hold a trade certificate with a Red Seal can work anywhere in Canada, including Alberta, without further training or examination." So seemingly, as long as it is a Red Seal certificate, there's more ability to move between the provinces.

Yes, if you have Red Seal then you can work in Ontario or Alberta.

Ontario's Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Systems Mechanic is equivalent to Alberta's Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Mechanic.

This only applies to the 313A and not the 313D.
