Engineering Licensee, Report on Experience - Geoscience Licensee

Your qualification as a geoscience licensee or engineering licensee is subjected to the following areas:

a) You should at least have professional knowledge and experience in engineering or geoscience. There is no mandatory need of having bachelor’s degree in engineering or geoscience, but there is a need of having at least a Diploma in related subjects; or

b) You need to cover up your deficiencies if you were assessed as an engineer or Geologist and were denied by the authority. Only then, you would be considered as engineering licensee or geosciences licensee. An adjustment in the application for the licensee approval would be needed and adjusted accordingly.

Note: In case you have any kind of doubts regarding your current state in engineer-in-training or geoscientist-in-training (after consulting the applicable web pages, then the Director of Academic Review or Director of Registration), an application as an geoscientist-in-trainingor engineer-in-training first is a basic need to get yourself assessed. A gap in the requirements for engineer-in-training or geoscientist-in-training would imply a need to fill these gaps and mitigate these deficiencies or make applications for the status of an engineering licensee or geoscience licensee.

A final approval from the registrar will be received after you pass the Professional Practice Exam, and complete the one year probation period. A dues notice for annual fees will be showcased to you after that. Your stamp will be delivered on payment of annual fees.The delivery process can consume a time of 17-18 weeks within Canada and longer outside Canada. Payments are to be made in APEGS Central (the new online profile) under "Invoices". Once you receive your approval, you will receive instructions for payment of fees.

The delays in the delivering of your certificate by up to 17-18 weeks will not bar you from practicing as an Engineering Licensee or Geoscience Licensee, or using your new title as is applicable once you have been notified by the Registrar that you are approved.
