Working as "apprentice electrician" with temp agency in NS, Canada.

So I was a registered apprentice from Nov-May with a legit electrical company. I have 1800 hours, but was laid off and never heard back, so i found what seemed to be a decent upgrade in August. I'd be making $6 more an hour, 10 min commute compared to 45 and the work was more steady.

I've been here for 2.5months, close to 500 hours. Upon calling the ITC, I was made "inactive" despite still working in the field. I was ok with this, I figured I just had to get my employer to contact the apprenticeship agency, I'd be back to being registered and progressing. I just recently learned that I actually cannot get registered with this company (temp agency) at all and none of the hours with this company will count towards the apprenticeship.

Apparently where electrical is a compulsory trade in NS, you need to be registered to actually work in the field. So I'm not even sure this is legal for me to be working this job.

I just don't know what to do now in this job market where I've only worked 2.5months so far.

I'm always checking for electrical jobs online and there is nothing and as winter approaches will probably be even more difficult to find a new job the next 5-6 months.

The main thing I care about working in electrical is progressing through the apprenticeship. But if I start complaining too much I might just get let go. Then if that happens I may not qualify for EI being on it from May-Aug and only 500 hours since.

Should I just suck it up and keep working for a few more months? Then once I know I can afford to get let go I can try to complain or leave. Or should I be trying to take action ASAP?

Feels like I'd be getting screwed over badly if I just let this happen for 6 months+. That's significant experience/hours that is irrelevant to the apprenticeship and future employers.
