Swedes have to have their 2 year certification plus do an apprenticeship, meanwhile illegals just walk in with fake credentials and work for less than half.
That said, depends on what the job is. Here in Australia all you really need to work on a job site is a "white card", which is a basic safety course certificate that takes about half a day to get with a rather small fee. To be a tradesman you'd still need the training + apprenticeship + certification, but you could be on a jobsite as a trades assistant or similar.
But the barrier to getting a white card is non-existent, so all it does is legalise work from illegal immigrants. And that's assuming they're working on a jobsite that actually checks for a white card and does an induction like they're meant to.
For commercial construction we even have an electronic badge system called ID06 which is supposed to be linked to your passport or national ID card, and yet they still get through because there aren't enough random checks.
Like what is even the point if you aren't even going to enforce the system in place?

Pretty similar here in Aus regarding time frames.
