Is it mandatory to have PE license for Piping Stress Engineer to apply jobs/PR?

[ib.sagar]

Hi,
I'm Sagar, Having 7+years of experience in Piping Stress Analysis which comes under NOC-2132 read in one of topics. I am planning to apply Canada PR (FSW)under express entry for year 2015. How about job opportunities in Canada. I saw most of the jobs require Licensed as a "professional Engineer with APEGA". (Is it mandatory?) Without this registration are we able to get jobs? I am about to apply for PR, your guidance ll help me to proceed further. Please do the needful. Thank you very much.


Regards
Sagar

They prefer PE Engineers. We can not stamp drawings until we get PE. We need to work under PE engineer if we don,t have PE. We need to pass NPPE exam and one year Canada experience to get PE. For less that 10 years experience, they may ask to clear tech exam also.

Hi
Thank you.
As you said PE certified are preferred. what about us who worked in India having experienced in the field but not having license actually speaking in India it not necessary. What is path forward for me. Do I apply PR under FSW. Even if I apply what are the chances of getting jobs ? I am in dilemma please help me to take decision.
Thank you in advance.

Apply for PR. Initially it is difficult to get a job without PE. Nowadays oil and gas job market is dull due to slump in oil price. Most of the Engg companies are laying off people in Alberta. Hope it will improve soon?

Hello,
But as per my knowledge under express entry (FSW) our CV ll be in pool, employers ll nominate us if they don't get any employees from Canada. Since We do not have PE license. Then what is the possibility of getting job and getting nominated by employers or even getting PR ? Our CV will be in pool for 1 year if not selected within year once again We have to apply & same procedure to follow.Sorry I am going in detail because I have to relocate with family. With new hope.

Thank you
Sagar
