1. Beginning in 1997, Newfoundland and Labrador expanded its definition of registered apprentices to include students in pre-apprenticeship programs in community colleges and similar institutions.
2. Nunavut was created on April 1, 1999. Prior to that date, data for Nunavut were included with data for Northwest Territories. This creates a break in series for Northwest Territories in 1999/2000.
Notes: To ensure the confidentiality of responses, a random rounding process is applied to the data. As a result, when these data are summed or grouped, the total value may not match the sum of the individual values, since the total and subtotals are independently rounded.
