I have the Swiss Federal Certificate of Proficiency as a gunsmith, which in my case is a three-year apprenticeship.

I currently live in Saint Jean sur Richelieu QC but I am willing to relocate for the right job.

I have experience with conventional turning and milling machines

Hi Sevi and welcome. You may want to explain some of the details of your apprenticeship to any potential employer in detail as Canada's apprenticeship programs are somewhat different from Switzerland's.

In switzerland, an apprenticeship works on a three-phase system. depending on the profession, the apprenticeship lasts 3 to 4 years. The apprenticeship to become a gunsmith normally lasts 4 years, but as I had already completed an apprenticeship as a tinsmith, I was able to complete my second apprenticeship as a gunsmith in 3 years.

You spend most of your working time in the training company where you carry out practical work. 1-2 days a week you have vocational school where you are trained in theory.
The third phase is the inter-company courses where you receive practical and theoretical training in specialized areas from training experts. For example in milling.
The Swiss training system is known for producing qualified and practice-oriented specialists who have a high level of practical experience immediately after their apprenticeship.
 
Leave Swiss land where they make you keep an automatic rifle at home, open carry, suppressors, buy pretty much anything you want...etc.

To come to one of the most anti-gun nations on the planet, where our gun culture is currently dying and try to get into the business...

All while we are being over run by millions of brain dead economic migrants...

Whoops-a-daisy on that move...

Yes I am familiar with the system, the typical apprentice starts at age 15-16 in Switzerland and age 17-18 in Canada, a typical gunsmith course in Canada is a correspondence course with no professional accreditation body that focuses largely on firearms cleaning/maintenance and sight adjustment that takes approximately 3 months to complete. I suspect your training was more relevant to firearms manufacturing.

Don't ask me to say kitchen cupboard ;)
