Is P.ENG (PEO) license required for the Express entry engineer NOC?

[Joel129]

My current job in Canada match with the NOC 21311. However, I see that in the employment requirements its indicates that P.Eng license is required but I don't have it. I am wondering if I apply using the NOC 21311 without having the P.Eng license IRCC would reject my application. I have bachelor degree in Computer Eng. from my home country.

Below you will find what are the employment requirements according to the National occupations 2021 web page:

• Computer engineers require a bachelor's degree in computer engineering, electrical or electronics engineering, engineering physics or computer science.
• A master's or doctoral degree in a related engineering discipline may be required.
• 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, three or four years of supervised work experience in engineering and passing a professional practice examination.

Please I would appreciate any comment, advice or recommendation from previous experiences. Thanks in advance.

I hired someone on LMIA who used 21311 and has no P.Eng license and they recently passed eligibility with their PR application. I feel confident that you should be able to do so, I'll however wait for others to confirm.

It should be ok as employment requirements under NOC is NOT required for PR purposes. As long as you performed the duties decribed in 21311, you should be good. Having a computer engineering degree from your home country should make it a stronger case.
