For mechanical engineers: Date first became qualified to practice in this occupation?

Hi
According to this page:

If you are listing any other primary occupation:
This is the date when you finished the minimum level of education needed for the occupation according to the National Occupational Classification code.

However, this page states under Employment requirements

• Licensing by a provincial or territorial association of professional engineers is required to approve engineering drawings and reports and to practise as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.).
• Engineers are eligible for registration following graduation from an accredited educational program, and after three or four years of supervised work experience in engineering and passing a professional practice examination

Do I need licensing and registration to be qualified?
Thanks

Hi
I found this:

License is required to hold the title and work as a professional engineer once you are in Canada. It is not required at the time of PR application.


and this:

You will often hear language regarding “permission to practice engineering” in Canada. Engineering is a regulated profession in Canada. This means that by law, no one can practice or legally call yourself an Engineer without the Professional Engineer (P.Eng) license. However, 80% of engineering jobs in Canada do not require you to hold a license.Licensing is carried out by 12 provincial and territorial associations or regulatory bodies who set standards and regulate the profession. An engineering license is valid only within that jurisdiction, however, there is a mobility agreement among some provinces and territories regarding transfer of licenses. These associations serve and protect the public on behalf of their provincial or territorial government

Working in Canada before being licensed
Applicants can work as engineers in Canada only if a licensed professional engineer takes responsibility for the work. It is illegal for non-licensed engineers to approve engineering drawings or reports, use the title “professional engineer” or any variation of it, or in any way offer engineering services to the public. . Most other technical work (i.e. work not considered professional engineering) may be performed by non-licensed engineers without restriction.

While you require an engineering license to become a “professional engineer” or “engineer” you do not need a license to work in the many different professions within the field of engineering/applied science technology.


So I think I do not need licensing, right?
