If you are an engineer with a strong desire to settle in Canada, then you're reading the right post. It will acquaint you with the requirements, processing time, and process, among other things.

So, let's get started...

What exactly is APEGS?

APEGS is the provincial organization in Saskatchewan, Canada, which is in charge of licensing Professional Engineers and Professional Geoscientists. Only candidates with APEGS Canada engineering licenses are legally permitted to carry out and assume responsibility for professional engineering and geoscience projects in Saskatchewan. APEGS is a member of Engineers Canada.

What are the requirements for the APEGS Canada engineering license?

Requirements for APEGS license:

1. Member-in-training application along with the fee of $210 with tax.

2. World Education Services (WES) ICAP course-by-course or document-by-document credential assessment.

3. Self-assessment

4. Academic assessment fee of $210 with tax.

5. Official program syllabi (if required).

6. Identification form proof.

7. Technical engineering work experience curriculum vitae

Don't miss to include all engineering experience gained since completing a bachelor's degree in your CV.

You must have sufficient proof to demonstrate that you have technical engineering work experience involving the application of engineering theory and science.

The reviewers will also look for your work experience to determine if you are eligible for the APEGS Canada engineering license or not. So make sure to mention all the work experiences along with the start and end dates, the company's name and address, job title, and a brief description of the duties you perform for each job.

How long does APEGS take to process?

The time it takes to process an APEGS application is determined by the candidate's situation. International engineering graduates who do not require extensive academic evaluation may be able to complete the process in as little as two months.

In contrast, applications requiring a thorough academic evaluation typically take around four months. Keep in mind that any additional academic preparation needed as a result of the academic assessment will prolong the time required to become eligible for registration as a member-in-training.
