Do we need Certification to find work in the Manufacturing sector?

Do you mean APEGGA license? I have been trying to get people thinking on this aspects, without much success.

Yes, APEGGA or Provisional License.
Do we need to have to get that in order to find a job in Canada in Manufacturing sector?

The way I understand it is, you've got to be licensed to practice Engineering. They evaluate your degree and make you take exams. You may get a provisional license and work under an "Engineer" for 1 year and then become an "Engineer".

Thanks nomad_musafir

If we get a job offer, do we still need to get the license to work?
Or the license is to get only the regulated jobs?

Please advise.
