APEGS has a policy that one year of the experience reported by engineers-in-training needs to be from a Canadian environment or an environment equivalent to a Canadian one to ensure that the applicant has sufficient knowledge required to practice engineering in Canada.
Effective January 1, 2020, the way engineers-in-training report this experience is changing. APEGS will require engineers-in-training to demonstrate eight Canadian Environment Competencies (CEC) to report engineering experience, as shown in the table below. Each of the competencies must be passed with a rating of the applicable category average.
This change affects engineers-in-training and engineer-in-training applicants. Any competency assessment submitted for validation on or after January 1, 2020 is required to meet the new Canadian Environment Competencies. In addition, competency assessments that are being resubmitted for validation on or after January 1, 2020 must comply with the new requirements.
The Competency-Based Assessment Guide with full details is posted on the APEGS website under Apply, Work Experience Reporting, Work Experience Reporting – Engineering at the bottom of the page under the heading Related Documents and Links.
