Good day, everyone!
I got a bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering here in the Philippines. I did not take any board exam so I am not a "full-pledged" engineer. However, I have been working as an electronics technician for more than 5 years now.
My NOC code 2241, Electrical and electronics engineering technologists and technicians, is being regulated in Nova Scotia. My problem is this - What do I have to do if my job is regulated? What is Nova Scotia's regulatory body for electronics technicians? What agency do I need to contact to find out about getting a license to be able to work once I get to Nova Scotia?
I have been searching everywhere online about this, but I can't seem to find an answer. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you very much!
You can apply for a job in ns that suits you and ask them the best thing to do. Normally they will give you a guide of what to do..
Saw this somewhere here too
Genrally, the first step is to figure out if you earned your degree in a country that has any educational accord with Canada (like the washignton accord). They way to find out is to email Engineers Canada, include your degree, year degree was earned, school and country. They'll tell if your degree falls under any accord / not. Under some accords, you will not need to take the Canadian test , a review of your transcript will suffice with proof of experience. In other cases, you may need to take several tests
