Note 2.

Revisions to some provincial data (Quebec, 1995 and 2000, and British Columbia, 2005) have resulted in revisions to estimates at the Canada level.

Note 3.

Starting in 2003, a change occurred in the reporting of Newfoundland and Labrador's information concerning newly registered apprentices and cancellations and suspensions.

Note 4.

New Quebec legislation introduced in 2008 and 2009, relating to Emploi-Quebec sector trades, has resulted in some changes in the reporting of registered apprenticeship registrations.

Return to note 4 referrer

Note 5.

The Emploi-Québec 2010 data include revised trade programs where some of the trades have been segmented into several levels. The segmenting of trade programs into levels creates a situation for possible multiple registrations and completions by a single individual apprentice, where previously only one registration and completion existed for this individual.

Note 6.

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apprentices includes those still registered from the previous year (apprentices who have not yet completed and have not withdrawn from training) plus apprentices newly registered during the current year.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.
