The economy here is strong but a pre-apprenticeship course is no guarantee of a job. If you have a background in construction already it certainly helps but you don't say what your work background is.
It's a tough call. It's unlikely that you will find work unless you have an Alberta address and phone number. That might mean that you make the move first and grab whatever work you can find. That could be a labourer job but at least you're working construction.
There was a guy here recently from Red Deer; seemed like a bright, motivated kid but he was looking for a starter job for five months with no luck. I'm not trying to discourage you but landing the apprenticeship is the tough part. If I was you, I wouldn't limit myself to electrical. Find a job in construction and then look for opportunities in any of the good skilled trades.
