Engineering License

Hi All, I will be moving to Toronto in 2 weeks. I am Quality Engineer in the Medical Device Industry. Do I need to get an engineering license to work in Canada? If so, how do I go about doing it? Thank you!

You can work; you just can't use the word "engineer" to refer to yourself or have it anywhere in the job title until you earn the license from PEO.
Depending on the industry, some companies would use titles like Quality Analyst, Specialist, Supervisor, etc. so that they can hire from a larger talent pool, unless of course the role requires an Engineer, then it would be designated as such.

Thank you for the clarification! I will start looking into the application process for getting the license.
