[Camelboy]

to get licensed as a computer engineer in canada for an immigrant seems to be impossible after landing,


Licence Requirements

To be licensed as a professional engineer by a provincial or territorial engineering association, candidates must:

• Possess an undergraduate (Bachelor's level) degree in engineering from a recognized Canadian university program, or possess an otherwise recognized engineering degree and complete an assigned exam program. Recognition of degree equivalency by a Canadian university or other organization is unrelated to recognition of your degree by Engineers Canada and its members.
• Complete three or four years of engineering work, depending on the association. Experience obtained outside Canada may be acceptable if sufficient documentation is provided. A minimum of 12 months experience must be in a Canadian environment to ensure that you are familiar with Canadian codes and standards.
  
• Write and pass a professional practice examination on professional practice, ethics, engineering law and liability..
• Be of good character and reputation.
• Be proficient in English (French in Québec, English or French in New Brunswick).

have you started the licensing procedure?

Yes, this is normal, you can work in your field without being a P.Eng. in fact, it´s expected for any undergrad/immigrant to join the workforce for a minimum required years without being licensed, everybody knows this. In that time you could do nothing or to prepare the tests. There is plenty of time to submit the tests and you can do them while you wait for the 4 years o experience to complete (the whole process to get licensed is driven by you). When you start the licensing process you are showing genuine interest (in your resume) of your long term intentions of settling in Canada as a licensed engineer, a plus.
