Although many consider apprenticeship to be the path to working in the trades, the 2006 Census showed that only 17% of those defining themselves as being in trade occupations had completed a registered apprenticeship program, with about an equal percentage holding another form of trade certificate.

Statistics Canada studies have put the 10-year completion rate at about 50% for apprentices starting in the 1990s. After 10 years, close to 10% of apprentices have not discontinued their apprenticeship, and have not successfully become Journeymen.
