Engineer-in-Training – Canadian Graduates

Below is the application process for engineer-in-training applicants with a Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) accredited bachelor’s degree.

1. First you must determine if you have a CEAB accredited bachelor’s degree in engineering. You can check by going to the Engineers Canada website. If your Canadian bachelor’s degree in engineering is not CEAB accredited then you have two options:
   1. Refer to your local post-secondary institution for information on upgrading your degree.
   2. If you have significant work experience in your field apply as an Engineering Licensee.
2. Create a user account with APEGS here.
3. You will need to check your email for an “APEGS sign up verification” from apegs@apegs.ca. The link in this email will take you to the APEGS Central homepage.
4. Once on this page, go to the “Applications” quick link on the left side of the page, select “Apply Now” and choose the “Engineer-in-Training Canadian Graduate” application type. To submit your application online you must pay the application fee by credit card (go to fees to view additional payment options).
5. You must send the following required documents to APEGS:
   • A confirmation of graduation, by providing one of the following documents:

     
     Option 1: Official Transcripts issued directly to APEGS by the institution (this may be in the form of an electronic delivery to documents-academicreview@apegs.ca via an electronic delivery system supported by the institution, such as MyCreds).
     Please note: Transcripts must include degree awarded and date conferred.
