The short answer
Not stated

“If you are an Out-of-province/territory apprentice planning to work TEMPORARILY in Nova Scotia: Make sure you carry your apprentice ID card. You do NOT have to register again in Nova Scotia. There are no further requirements for you to be able to work as an apprentice in Nova Scotia.”
