Accommodation Reimbursement Form Process

Criteria & Process for Application

NOTE: You must be eligible for Education Trust Fund Benefits at the time of commencement of Training. Prior to booking accommodation for training, contact EITCA to find out your eligibility status as well as if you meet the requirements of the Accommodation Assistance Policy.

Accommodation Assistance is available to eligible Beneficiaries when EITCA training courses are not offered within the Beneficiary’s registered area of residence, as listed in the IBEW 424 database. A 45-kilometer radius—measured from the center of each training centre—will be applied to the Beneficiary’s address to determine whether the distance criteria are met.

Beneficiaries seeking Accommodation Assistance must submit their request to the Provincial Training Director via email to [email protected] a minimum of 10 days prior to the commencement of the training. 

All applications will be considered on a case by case basis and will be reimbursed upon provision of receipts for commercial accommodation, for a maximum limit of $200 per night. Accommodation Assistance will be paid for each day of training that is 100% attended. 

PLEASE NOTE: The maximum limit of $200 per night is for accommodation ONLY.  Mileage, meals, and fuel are out of pocket expenses and will not be reimbursed.

You have 12 months from the completion date of your course to submit your reimbursement information. 

After 12 months, you must appeal to the Board of Trustees c/o The Electrical Training Centre:
