Apprentices from Other Jurisdictions Working in Alberta

An apprentice from another jurisdiction is permitted to gain on-the-job apprenticeship education with an Alberta employer/sponsor while remaining registered as an apprentice in their home jurisdiction.

If their registration in their home jurisdiction expires while working in Alberta, and they are working in a designated trade with restricted activities in Alberta, the apprentice may not continue working in Alberta until they either: 

  • reactivate registration in their home jurisdiction, or
  • register as an Alberta apprentice.

Education and supervision of an apprentice from another jurisdiction by an Alberta employer is subject to the same legislative requirements as Alberta apprentices under the Act. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • ratio,
  • supervision,
  • wages, and
  • dispute resolution between the apprentice and employer.

Apprentices from other jurisdictions should notify their home jurisdiction of their intent to engage in on-the-job apprenticeship education in on-the-job apprenticeship education in Alberta.

  • Apprentices from other jurisdictions must meet the requirements of their home jurisdiction in order to receive credit for the on-the-job apprenticeship education gained in Alberta

Apprentices from other jurisdictions working in Alberta for longer than 12 months are encouraged to transfer their apprenticeship to Alberta.

Any information provided to AIT by an apprentice from another jurisdiction becomes subject to the Alberta Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
