Dear ABHereICome,
I am also interested in applying for registration as professional engineer
kindly advise
1. Is it possible to start the process, while we are in India yet?
2. From which province body it is easier to get registered i.e. APEGA or PEO etc.?
3. will this registration with one province body work in other provinces too i.e. registration with APEGA work in BC or just in Alberta ?
4. I read somewhere that to get professional engineers license one must should work in Canada
for at least one year,how is it possible while staying in India?
5. Finally, how much will it cost?
Thanks
I'll answer your question based on my experience with Apega, I don't know how the other bodies work, but I bet is quite the same. Instead of boring explanation, I decided to put the options in the form of an algorithm:
Code:
status = ""; //Your current status
appy_as = "";
years_of_canadian_experience = 0;
years_of_experience = 0;
if (years_of_canadian_experience > 1 and years_of_canadian_experience + years_of_experience > 2) {
if (status == "Citizen" or status == "Landed Immigrant") {
apply_as = "Professional Member"; }
else {
apply_as = "Foreign Licensee"; }
}
else {
apply_as = "Member in Training";
}
Once you apply, you'll have a timeline like this:
You can apply for a MIT or Foreign Licensee membership from your home country. Once you meet any of the requirements, you can upgrade to the Professional Engineer membership.
As a P.Eng. you can transfer your registration to many provinces, perhaps all of them.
