No.

A journeyman is an electrician that has completed his four year apprenticeship (four years of experience and four periods of schooling). This allows him to legally complete jobs with permits that are to be inspected for compliance with the electrical code.

A master is a journeyman electrician with a certain amount of experience that is tested to prove a certain level of competency of the electrical code. These electricians are able to "pull" (read - apply for) permits.
