How do you flush mount a service doing it the 'Canadian' way?

Unfortunately, that requires the cooperation of a carpenter to adjust the framing....

All receptacles must be pigtailed, no feed-through using both sets of terminals.

It could be done just like we sometimes flush mount 21" wide panels. The carpenter has to frame for it.
Besides, you don't have to, and we are not really allowed to mount panels sideways. (We can but we could only use half the spaces due to 'up is on' requirements.)

Mounting panels sideways is an option, not a requirement

The IAEI magazine usually has one or more Canadian Code articles each issue. I don't read them, but have noticed their presence.

This is an industrial project; we do IEC projects all the time, but have not been involved with anything from Canada so wasn't sure if they were more similar to NEC or IEC.
As far as licensing, supposedly they allow temporary on a project by project basis, but they make you jump through hoops to get it, and then you still have to have a local engineer on board. Job protection I guess.
Looks like I have some reading to do. I'm too old to learn new things.

Not a bad idea to be mandated in the US as well..
Most of the time, when a part of a circuit stops working I find that the culprit are a fed-through (or worse yet, backstabbed fed-through) wires.
