i can't speak for Alberta but what has happened in BC is two fold, the goverment has really gutted the apprentice ship standards in order to please the industry that doesn't want to pay to train kids up, on top of that is the massive size of the building boom here means most construction is being done by wholly unqualified and often completely untrained workers.
I'm a foster parent, my foster kid, strung out on meth most of the time, with about three months on the job, ended up as a supervisor on a rebar crew just because they had to much work and no staff, companies will hire anyone out here.
