And no, by affordability crisis I mean housing people can barely or flat out can’t currently afford.

You’ve essentially made an argument with no evidence that increasing trades people won’t meaningfully increase housing being built while it will meaningfully increase housing cost. I don’t find that to be logical. Even if the jobs that are filled are “up north” those jobs would have been filled anyways given their ability to pay more than residential construction. Making the argument that adding qualified trades people to the province wil increase the housing crisis makes no sense.
Most likely is the program has no affect and people who were going to move move here anyways.
