Alberta had the lowest percentage, around 4 percent. However, by 2006, this figure rose sharply to approximately 10 percent. Meanwhile, the two previously mentioned provinces experienced a decline of around 6 percent each.

Manitoba and Newfoundland and Labrador had comparable percentages, around 7 percent, while Ontario recorded the lowest percentage of formal graduates at about 6 percent. Furthermore, by 2006, these figures remained relatively stable, maintaining around 3 to 4 percent.
