r revised
1. Revisions to some provincial data (Quebec, 1995 and 2000, and British Columbia, 2005) have resulted in revisions to estimates at the Canada level.
2. Starting in 2003, a change occurred in the reporting of Newfoundland and Labrador's information concerning newly registered apprentices and cancellations and suspensions.
3. Changes in Prince Edward Island's information system, starting with reporting for 2005, may affect historical comparisons. At the end of 2006, the province made some adjustments and revisions to its database that account for the change in the carry-over of registered apprentices at the beginning of 2007. In 2007, an increase in new registrations was, to some extent, related to a demand for skilled workers outside of the province. In 2008, technical issues with the information system and reporting of data following the redesign of the Registered Apprenticeship Information System survey caused a number of apprentices not to be reported.
4. Changes to Emploi-Quebec reporting that were introduced in 2008 have affected the number of registered apprentices. Beginning in 2008, the province's overall reporting includes non-construction unregulated voluntary trades, but still excludes the automotive trades. The 2010 data include revised trade programs and some of the trades have been segmented into several levels. This segmenting creates the possibility of multiple registrations and completions by a single individual apprentice, when previously only one registration and completion existed for the individual.
5. A clean-up of inactive clients on the Ontario database at the end of 2006 may have caused differences in the carry-over totals of active apprentices from 2006 to 2007.
6. For 2008, Alberta incorrectly included the "Industrial warehousing" trade with the "Partsperson" and "Partsperson (material)" trades, and excluded the "Construction craft worker" trade. The province also reported a large number of apprentices who did not continue, a result of implementing a series of cancellations and suspensions of inactive apprentices.
7. Nunavut was created on April 1, 1999. Prior to 2001, data for Nunavut were included with information from the Northwest Territories. This created a break in series for the Northwest Territories in 2001.
Notes: In 2008, the Registered Apprenticeship Information System (RAIS) underwent a major survey redesign.
The number of registered apprentices includes those still registered from the previous year (apprentices who have not yet completed and have not withdrawn from training) plus apprentices newly registered during the current year.
To ensure the confidentiality of responses, all counts are randomly rounded to a multiple of 3. Since the total and subtotal values are independently rounded, the total values may not match the sums of the individual values.
For a brief description of this indicator, including the methodology, please see the Handbook for the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program.
