I see a keyhole mount at the end in the one picture so I'd assume yes.

^^ I'd like to know that as well.
Did some looking around Home Depot and tried to figure out how conduit works. ha. After some youtube it looks pretty simple. One question though, the two ceiling mounted lights in the garage are obviously in a normal recessed box of some sort. How do I mount an external box with conduit knockouts to the existing box. Can you add an extension to the original? Remove it completely, patch the drywall then just mount an external box on top?
From this

You'll need something like this: https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.o...000106148.html
Run BX from the box to your new fixtures. Don't run conduit unless you're running single conductors since loomex inside pipe fails code.

That throws a wrench into my plans. I wanted to add more electrical outlets using boxes and conduit. Is there somewhere I can access the BC electrical code? This looked like a good alternative. https://psknight.com/residential

I think I get what you mean now. The conduit has to be run with individual insulated wiring which reallly can only be purchased in large rolls correct?

More specifically, Non Metallic Sheathed Cable or NMD90 (Loomex) may not be used within a raceway when part of a complete raceway system.
The code does allow for NMD90 to be installed within short sections of conduit and tubing for the purposes of mechanical protection
Per CEC Section 12-910(2)

Technically you can run surface loomex on your ceiling as long as it's fastened correctly (above 5' you don't need protection, as it's not really going to be subject to damage on your ceiling). That's your cheapest option, but definately the ugliest.
Personally I don't find BX all that nice to look at either, nicely done and bent EMT would look the most PRO.

If it were me and I wanted it to be clean, I'd put it in the joists. The ceiling isnt even finished. I'd also raise the heater.

And what is the proper way to do so?
Looking at the drywall tape on the ceiling, the joists run lengthways down the garage. I ordered the 4' amazon LED lights posted earlier. Running the wiring from the existing fixture looks like it would work out fine if I am hanging the lights perpendicular to the length of the garage.
I'm just so lost with housing construction with zero experience. I can make it work, but have no idea what is proper. ha.

You'd have to do some cutting and patching.
Cut in and mount your new outlet boxes where you want them, open up the ceiling as necessary to pull wire through and able to staple to face of joist every 5 feet (Also need to staple within 6" of Junction Box).
If you need to move perpendicular through joists, you can drill, but ensure you keep at least 1-1/4" from edge of joist.
All splices must be made within your junction boxes.
All junction boxes must be accessible once the ceiling is closed back up (Can't bury them within the ceiling)

@Great68 must be a city inspector being able to cite the CEC like that

Thanks for the walkhrough 68. Went to HD today and bought some wires and boxes. Then finally got something to stand on and realized I was completely wrong with how the joists are run. Ha. After much thought, I’m going with the external routing once again as I don’t want to bother with going through lumber.
Attempted some mudding today on the ceiling. What a shitty job. Haha

Running into a bit of a crossroads with my lighting.
I bought 4 amazon 4' LED shop lights which are meant to be plugged in (Not hardwired).
Original plan was to chop the ends off, wire into junction box of some kind and run EMT to where the old light fixture was.
The Home Depot guy was confused when I was looking for a connector from bare wire (Cut power cord) to a knockout in a box. First clue.
A little more googling, and it seems that is completely illegal to do. I'd rather have some insurance money when my, or my neighbours place burns down. So then it seems my only option is to wire in some actual power receptacles using EMT conduit. It's not going to be nearly as pretty, but it will work and it would be to code.
Wrong. My ceiling has a round box. Apparently i'm not allowed to run an extension off of this for my EMT.
If I take out the old box, can I just surface mount an externally mounted box over top of the hole. I assume this is a big no. How do I run the wires from the removed box, to a new externally mounted box. Do I need to repair the drywall and use some sort of pass through?
I'd rather do this correctly.
