- Start date
I am appearing for NPPE in November, could you send me some exam material as well at qaiseraziz@gmail.com
Thanks
Could you please explain me the procedure for PEng.
I have a Bachelors from India and masters in USA and PE . Around 10 years U.S exp.
I would appreciate if u could explain me the step by step procedure or guide me to the appropriate place to look at.
Best place for instructions on how to apply is the APEGA website https://www.apega.ca/apply/professional-licensee/application-checklist/
It is a very long but simple process.
Some tips to expedite your application:
1. Start as professional licensee if you have not yet done your PR landing. You can later change to professional member application by emailing copy of your PR card.
2. Let your supervisors or references know to expect an email from APEGA and to check their SPAM/JUNK folder. In my case, all of them had the email in the JUNK folder and did not see it for some time until I called them to inquire.
3. As soon as you start the online application, apply for course-by-course evaluation by WES. You will need your application number to request the WES evaluation. Don't wait until to complete the online application and request evaluation. It takes about a week if your upgrading from document-by-document evaluation from your PR application (no need to re-submit transcripts or other documents). About a month or more, if you are starting from scratch.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Does anyone know if APEGA always require you to do additional exams if you are from outside of Canada. WES confirmed both my bachelors of engineering and my masters degree were equivalent to a Canadian 4 year bachelors and also a Canadian masters degree. I'm uncertain if they are definitely going to request I do additional exams. Any help would be great !
It all depends on the outcome of Board of Examiner's (BOE) meeting. BOE will probably review your degree courses.

Thanks for your timely response! Does it help if my country (united kingdom) is part of the Washington accord at all?
Yes it should definitely help if your degree/university was accredited by the UK Engineers council.
Statement copied from Engineers Canada website: https://engineerscanada.ca/accreditation/equivalency-for-programs-outside-of-canada
"It recognizes the substantial equivalency of programs and recommends that graduates of programs accredited by any of the signatories be recognized by the other signatories as having met the academic requirements for entry to the practice of engineering"
Hi If you are US PE, you just have to apply for membership with EGBC or APEGA and request your PE board to submit your certificate records and about your standing. That's it. You should get it in a couple of weeks.
Very simple for your.
Good Luck!
Thanks,
Please let me know when you get yours. Thanks!
Wish us good luck!
Mine changed to:
The Board of Examiners has reviewed your file, and their decision will be mailed or emailed to you. Due to the large volume of applications, it may take 3 - 4 weeks following the Board decision before your reporting letter is sent to you.
I am worried. Someone said EIT will change to P.Eng automatically if it is approved. Did you receive the email from APEGA?
My application was deferred: asked for 9 more month experience.
Wish you good luck Alimzlm.
