Guys ! I have a similar issue. I have 2+ years of experience as Quality Engineer. I come under noc code 21321 which is eligible for STEM draws. But my doubt is in the employment requirements of the noc code it says P.Eng is required for approving drawing and to practice as an engineer. Do I need to have P.Eng licence in order to get PR through this stream ? My job doesn’t require any P.Eng. I’m totally confused. Please help me regarding this.
You are correct that the employment requirements for NOC 21321 state that a P.Eng. is required for approving drawings and to practice as an engineer. However, this does not necessarily mean that you need to have a P.Eng. in order to get PR through this stream.
The Canadian government has stated that it is not mandatory for all skilled workers in NOC 21321 to have a P.Eng. in order to be eligible for PR. However, if you do not have a P.Eng., you will need to provide evidence that your job does not require the use of engineering principles and that you do not perform any engineering duties that would require a P.Eng.
Here are some things you can do to demonstrate that you do not need a P.Eng.:
- Provide a letter from your employer stating that your job does not require the use of engineering principles or the performance of any engineering duties that would require a P.Eng.
- Provide a copy of your job description that clearly states that your job does not require the use of engineering principles or the performance of any engineering duties that would require a P.Eng.
- Provide a copy of your education and training that demonstrates that you have the necessary skills and knowledge to perform your job without the use of a P.Eng.
If you can provide this evidence, you should be able to get PR through the NOC 21321 stream even if you do not have a P.Eng.
I hope this helps!
