1 Different Types of Licenses for Engineers

2 P.Eng. License be at least 18 years old; be of good character (must submit character references); meet PEO's stipulated academic requirements for licensure (hold an undergraduate engineering degree from a Canadian Engineering Accreditation board (CEAB)-accredited program, or possess equivalent qualifications), and, if required, successfully complete any technical exams.academic requirementstechnical exams fulfill the engineering work experience requirements (demonstrate at least 48 months of verifiable, acceptable engineering experience, at least 12 months of which must be acquired in a Canadian jurisdiction under a licensed professional engineer); andwork experience requirements successfully complete PEO’s Professional Practice Examination (PPE).Professional Practice Examination (PPE) http://peo.on.ca/index.php/ci_id/2057/la_id/1.htm

3 P.Eng. License: Academic Requirements Must have a bachelor's degree in engineering from a Canadian university program accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) or equivalent academic qualifications. Canadian university program accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board – If bachelor's degree in engineering was obtained from a non- CEAB-accredited program, qualifications will be assessed against the Canadian Engineering Qualification Board (CEQB) criteria in the engineering discipline. academic background is assessed by PEO to determine whether it is equivalent to the established standards. PEO assigns technical exams to give applicant an opportunity to confirm (Confirmatory Examination Program) that his/her academic preparation is equivalent or to remedy any identified deficiencies (Specific Examination Program).technical examsConfirmatory Examination ProgramSpecific Examination Program

4 P.Eng. License: Work Experience Ontario law requires that an engineer have four years of engineering work experience before he/she can obtain his/her professional engineering licence. – At least one year of experience must be obtained in a Canadian jurisdiction under supervision of licensed engineer.

5 P.Eng. License: Work Experience Work experience assessed against 5 criteria – application of theory; – practical experience; – management of engineering; – communication skills; and – awareness of the social implications of engineering.

6 Pregraduation Experience only pregraduation engineering experience gained after the mid-point of the bachelor's degree course is eligible for assessment; a maximum of 12 months is eligible for assessment; and pregraduation experience cannot be credited in lieu of the required minimum 12 months of Canadian experience.

7 P.Eng. License: PPE The PPE is a three-hour, closed-book exam on ethics, professional practice, engineering law and professional liability. It is held three times a year (in April, August and December) in major centres across the province. To reduce the time to licensure, applicants are encouraged to write the PPE early in the licensing process.

8 Limited License A limited licence can be issued to an individual who, as a result of at least eight years of specialized experience, has developed competence in a certain area of professional engineering. Regulation 941, amended to O. Reg. 71/15, sections 45 to 50.1 apply to the limited licence: http://peo.on.ca/index.php?ci_id=2072&la_id =1 http://peo.on.ca/index.php?ci_id=2072&la_id =1
