Contractor License Services

Obtaining a contractor license is a legal requirement for professionals involved in construction, renovation, repair, and trade-based work across Ontario. Whether you are starting a new contracting business, renewing an existing license, or expanding into new trade categories, proper contractor licensing ensures that you operate legally, safely, and without interruptions.

At ITI Permit, we provide professional contractor license services across Hamilton, Stoney Creek, Niagara Falls, Waterdown, Toronto, Brampton, Oakville, and throughout Ontario. Our team helps general contractors, specialty contractors, and independent professionals secure approvals smoothly—without confusion, delays, or compliance issues.
