What could I ask for?
Your estimated minimum rate is about $20/hr. That is a minimum estimate based on the selected apprentice band. A practical ask could be around $21–$22/hr if you have strong attendance, can work with less supervision, and are taking on more responsibility.
This is only an estimate for planning wage conversations, not an official ruling or legal advice. Confirm your apprentice classification, logged hours, employer agreement terms, and current provincial rules with your employer, union (if applicable), and apprenticeship authority.
