APEGS is responsible for the regulation of the practices of professional engineering and professional geoscience in Saskatchewan, which includes safeguarding the public.
APEGS has been granted the privilege of regulating these professions by the Government of Saskatchewan, which has given APEGS the mandate to do so through The Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act.
Did You Know?
APEGS Licence Waiver Program
Annual fees for members are split into two portions: membership fee and licence fee. Members are eligible to apply for a licence waiver if they meet specific criteria. For information on the eligibility criteria, visit apegs.ca and navigate to the tab Members/Annual Fees, Licence Waiver.
Licence Waiver Holders Living in Saskatchewan
Members who reside in Saskatchewan are only eligible to hold a licence waiver if they are unemployed (i.e. not working at any job whatsoever in Saskatchewan).
If a licence waiver holder gains employment (either inside the professions or outside the professions), they must reinstate their licence.
To reinstate a licence, contact the APEGS office.
Licence Waiver Holders Living Outside Saskatchewan
Members who live outside of Saskatchewan are eligible for a licence waiver if they are not practising engineering or geoscience on projects or properties located in Saskatchewan.
Regardless of the member’s physical location, if a member is working on an engineering or geoscience project located within Saskatchewan, they must be licensed.
Licence Waiver Holders and CPD
Licence waiver holders are still members of APEGS and are required to report Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits to APEGS each year.
To determine their annual requirements, members should consult the APEGS CPD Program Document, which is available for download from the CPD tab at apegs.ca.
Licence Waiver Holders and Professional Responsibility
Licence waiver holders are not licensed to practise professional engineering or professional geoscience in Saskatchewan.
This means that licence waiver holders are not eligible to take professional responsibility for a project and are not able to use their seal.
Licence Waiver Holders and Use of Title
Licence waiver holders are still permitted to use their title in Saskatchewan.
