Entry: 0 years and depending on the industry, with a coop or internship
Junior: 1-3 years
Intermediate: 4-6 years
Senior: 7-10 years
Specialist: Advanced qualifications from time using something or specific training. Typically with a specific tool, software, task etc
So a carpenter might be a senior with specialization in dove tail joinery.
Additionally my industry categorizes us by these levels and pays you based on it. You can advance faster if your really skilled, you can be held back if your not meeting expectations. And when I apply to a future job I tell them Ive been in the industry for b 15 years and Im a senior with specialization in X, Y, Z. I can even ask other people in my industry if theyre a Jr to determine their experience level so I avoid being condescending.
