professional ENGINEERS
registered in canada
and/or the usa
If you are already registered as a Professional Engineer in Canada or the US, this section applies to you.
If you are going to practice engineering in Alberta you must be licensed as a Professional Engineer or Foreign Licensee with APEGGA.
If you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident (landed immigrant) of Canada, you should apply for licensure as a Professional Engineer.
If you are not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident (landed immigrant) of Canada, you should apply for licensure as a Foreign Licensee.
If you are applying for licensure as a P.Eng. or Foreign Licensee and are
an engineer registered elsewhere in Canada or the US, you must:
1. Meet APEGGA’s academic requirements.
2. Meet APEGGA’s experience requirements including at least one year of
equivalent Canadian engineering,
geology, or geophysics experience.
3. Be of good character and reputation.
4. Demonstrate knowledge of law, ethics, and professionalism.
5. Satisfy the English Language Competency requirement.
APEGGA will contact your home association to confirm your registration as a P.Eng. in good standing there.
If you are registered as a Professional Engineer with one of the other Canadian provincial or territorial engineering associations, the application process is simpler and quicker than if you are not registered elsewhere. APEGGA typically does not require your transcripts nor do we need to contact references. Occasionally, however, APEGGA may need to contact your references or obtain transcripts and if so we will contact you to provide us with that information.
For US Professional Engineers not registered with one of the Canadian engineering
associations you will need to have your academic institution provide us with
your transcripts and you will also need to provide us with the names and contact
information of at least three references. Alternatively, you can submit your
NCEES Record Book instead. Also note that if you are a US Professional Engineer
but not registered elsewhere in Canada, you will need to pass the National
Professional Practice Examination before you can become licensed
as a Professional Engineer or Foreign Licensee with APEGGA.
How do I apply to APEGGA?
To apply to APEGGA you must submit a completed Application For Registration form together with the required accompanying documents and application fee.
The Application for Registration Form and related explanatory materials are available online at the bottom of this page. In the alternative, a paper version of the application package may be obtained through the Calgary and Edmonton APEGGA offices.
Completing Your Forms
Most of the forms below are available in PDF format which allows you to
view and fill in your your form electronically on most computers. (The freely
available Adobe Acrobat reader is required to view and print PDF
files.) Once you have completed the form, print the form page.
You should then sign the form, enclose any fee that is required and mail or fax
the signed form to APEGGA.
For your own records you should also print out a copy of any form you send in.
Effective November 3, 2004, APEGGA will no longer accept reference questionnaires from generic email addresses such as yahoo and hotmail. We cannot ensure the authenticity of email messages from these addresses.
