How much are carpentry apprentices paid in Canada? Thanks!?

Question

Just wondering how much apprentices in Canada are paid for a carpentry apprenticeship. I'm 20 yo Australian looking to come over on a 2 year working holiday visa (with a wad of cash to support me at least), so how long do apprenticeships go for in carpentry there? If more than 2 years, and I got on well and impressed my boss etc, would they be likely to sponsor me to stay? I mean, given the shortage of trade skills there? Any help would be fantastic, thanks!

Answer 1

The apprenticeship is 4 years.  Money depends on location.  Where I live, you can probably get $18 to start easy.
