Am I eligible for employment expenses or "participated in a work training program"?

When I started with NavCanada, I had to temporarily move across the country to attend their school program (2016-2017), as well as complete medicals prior to this. could these expenses be either "expenses related to employment" or "participated in a work training program"? the company isn't technically government anymore, though I do have a government ID with them, and it is government regulated. Also during training I wasn't getting a salary, but rather I was getting a training allowance (and a t4a). I also wasn't  technically an employee until 2017 after the training finished.

In order to claim employment expenses on your income tax return, your employer must issue a T2200 (Declaration of Conditions of Employment) stating that you were required to incur these expenses as part of your employment.
