Working in Alberta as a foreign trained engineer
Congratulations on your successful nomination for permanent residency through the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program. To facilitate the transition into your profession, here is occupational information on how to obtain a license to practice engineering in Alberta. If you have not already done so, we strongly advise that you begin this process while you are waiting for the result of your permanent residency application to the federal government of Canada.
Each province and territory in Canada is responsible for issuing licenses to practice engineering. All individuals, either Canadian trained or internationally educated, who intend to work as an engineer in Alberta must by licensed by the Association of Professional Engineering, Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta (APEGGA).
APEGGA has the authority and responsibility to regulate the practice of engineering within Alberta. In order to obtain a license to practice, APEGGA must evaluate your qualifications.
A major component of the engineering sector in Alberta is the consulting engineering industry. The Consulting Engineers of Alberta (CEA) is a registered organization representing over 75 Alberta engineering firms which provide a wide range of engineering services to government and private sector clients on a project-by-project basis.
To find engineering jobs in Alberta visit APEGGA's career page and the Consulting Engineers of Alberta job postings.
The Government of Alberta's immigration website also provides information on working as an engineer in Alberta.
