Does anyone ever face the situation where APEGA is asking/writing to their current employer to ask about their details, like their current employment status, role, nature of work, etc.? My application is in the internal Review stage as "In progress."

Yes. My manager was contacted to provide additional details about my work and position.

Thanks @NaiveWater930 !!
Please tell me how long it took to raise this question from day one. And by day 1, I mean the date APEGA administrative staff accepted it for review.
My file was recently accepted for Internal Review. I am an internationally educated EIT with APEGA.
I am contracting with my employer and am about to take an engineering technologist position, which APEGA may not consider a career progression. I am worried about this.
Could you please tell me more about the probable reason that APEGA asked for your current status and position?

Hard to say. I think APEGA wants to validate your canadian exp. In my case, APEGA wanted to validate the information as my manager is not a PEng.

Got my application approved today. Subject to passing of NPPE exam which I will take in Sep 2024.

Thank you everyone for the insight and support.
Hi, can I ask you about your job description you submitted? They asked me for 6 months of experience. I'm pretty sure I have it, but maybe my description was not that strong

That isn't good! But how do you know it is because of your current job description?

I have not received anything yet...
Up to you. You can request the reassessment or request for update providing the 3 months + a revised 4.1 competency. Not sure about how long would be the reassessment but request for update could take around 2-3months
Hope this helps.
