P.Eng APEGA (Professional Engineers of Alberta) review timeline
- Thread starter jez.s009
- Start date
So I got my response and they have assigned me the FE exam. I asked for an explanation as to why and here is what they said:
"Under the Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act of Alberta (EGP Act), the Board of Examiners has the authority in determining whether an applicant's experience is acceptable and determined that you did not have enough acceptable professional level experience to waive the FE. If you wish to request a reassessment, you will be required to re-submit your experience with additional details showing professional level engineering experience and demonstrating that sufficient application of engineering theory was present in your work. References would need to be provided to confirm the claimed experience. The application of engineering theory includes the professional application of mathematics, chemistry, physics, or a related applied subject that is aimed at the discovery, development or utilization of matter, materials or energy. The work experience details should demonstrate how you use engineering theory and calculations in performing specific engineering tasks. Technologist level experience is not considered professional level experience."
I have 12 years of experience so there are two options of what may have happened:
1) They indeed did not review my experience as I was afraid in my previous post.
2) They were not satisfied by the way I described my WER.
They are reviewing my file again and will let me know specifically what was the problem. I hope you guys had better luck!
Apparently you are not the only one. I was also assigned the FE exam after putting up 8 years of professional experience. Now the hardest part is to prepare for it with full time job and family. I presented my engineering experience in the best possible way I could but nothing worked. Just throwing a question here for a brainstorming. What possible options I have to eliminate this exam? I do not have any objection on taking this exam but the time and kind of commitment require for this exam is overwhelming.
Hi,
Everyone, I have applied for EIT via APEGA. I have not submitted any documents related to my work experience.
My application is currently showing this status,
Internal review ="waiting for documents"
What does it mean, since my educational credentials were already sent by WES and received by APEGA. Which documents are they waiting for?

I was asked to write FE exam. I wrote the exam in Calgary. The exam be taken in many countries but not all. You can check the NCEES website to see where you can take this exam. You can take any discipline FE exam for APEGA. I wrote FE other discipline and passed in the first attempt. I would have spent about 80hours in total preparation.
Are you saying that you only prepared for 2 weeks for this exam? If you are fresh graduate then you might be able to prepare it in couple of weeks otherwise it will take at least couple of months to prepare for it (at least for myself). I am just studying the NCEES other discipline reference book and I feel it requires lots of commitment to study it thoroughly. I will appreciate any tip you may give to ace this exam.
Hello All,
I am new here! Hope you all good success.
I need advice, as I am confused. I have a B.Eng & M.Eng from outside Canada from Russia. I have 10 years experience in my profession. I have just gotten my PR but I am still working in Ghana currently. Is it better to apply for an EIT or P.Eng

Well I graduated 12 yrs ago but fortunately I remembered stuff. I found the exam tests basic skills and simple logic and reference guide search to solve problems help cracking the exam. You do need to study all concepts and solve the questions to understand the pitfalls. You would know the kind of mistakes you can make and prevent those in exam. FE Other discipline exam is relatively easier. I still had to take this exam inspite of having 8years Canadian experience under a PEng with additional 4 years of international experience.
Go for EIT if you don't have Canadian experience. Applying for P.Eng. would make sense if you have Canadian experience under a P.Eng.
Please seek second opinion as well.
Is there anyone submitted the application at the beginning of April? Are you still in Internal Review stage?
If all your documents are accepted then it takes about 2 months to complete internal review.
