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 degree in engineering is not CEAB accredited then you have the following options:
   1. If you have a post-secondary-level diploma or degree
      • Refer to your local post-secondary institution for information on upgrading your degree; or
      • apply as an Engineering Licensee if you have a significant work experience in your field.
   2. If you have an undergraduate-level bachelor’s degree in engineering that is not accredited, proceed to apply as an Engineer-In-Training-Canadian Graduate.  APEGS will determine if your program meets the minimum requirements for an assessment or not upon receiving your academic documents.
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).

What Happens Next?

After you have been approved, an invoice for annual registration fees, prorated for the remainder of the year, will be posted to your online profile. After you have paid your registration fees you can use the “engineer-in-training” title. You will receive a certificate indicating that you are registered as an engineer-in-training with APEGS. You do not need this certificate in your possession to start using the title “engineer-in-training”.
