Reinstatement

Reinstatement is only applicable if you were previously registered with APEGS. If you are currently registered elsewhere in Canada, or your membership ended less than three months ago, you should apply through Inter-Association Mobility. If you are not registered elsewhere in Canada, then you must complete a reinstatement application to become a registered member again.

Reinstatement – CPD Administrative Suspension

A person who was administratively suspended when they ceased to be a member will be required to complete remedial conditions assigned by the Registrar to qualify for reinstatement as a member.  For more information, contact the CPD Department.

Reactivate Licence (waiver holders)

If you have a licence waiver you do not need to reinstate. You must send an email through our Contact Us page to tell us that you want to start working again. A prorated fee for the remainder of the year will be posted to your online profile. Once you have paid the fee your licence will be reactivated.

Activate Previously Approved Registration

If your application was approved less than two years ago and you did not activate it by paying the annual registration fees, you can activate it by paying pro-rated annual registration fees for the remainder of the current year. You do not need to submit a new application.

1. Send an email through our Contact Us page indicating that you want to activate your registration. Make sure you include your APEGS file number in the email.
2. An invoice for the annual registration fees will be posted to your online profile.
3. After you have paid the annual fees, you will receive a certificate in the mail and an electronic image of your seal by email. If you ordered a physical stamp, it will be delivered within a few months (this may take slightly longer if you are located outside of Canada).
4. Once you have paid your annual fees you are permitted to use the appropriate title.
5. Your certificate may take several months to arrive. You do not need your certificate in your possession to start using one of the protected titles.
6. Make sure you keep your APEGS profile information up to date because APEGS will need to contact you both by email and by regular mail.

If your application was approved more than two years ago and you did not activate it by paying the annual registration fees, you must submit a new application including applicable application fees. You will be required to follow the current registration process and meet the current requirements. This may include having some requirements reassessed. See How to Apply for more information.
