Licensing Guide 3

Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) is the organization thatis mandated, under the Professional Engineers Act, with settingthe standards for admission and with regulating the practice ofprofessional engineering in Ontario. To practise as a profession-al engineer in Ontario, an individual must be licensed by PEO.

Licence Requirements

To be granted a licence to practise professional engineering,the applicant must:◆ be at least 18 years old;

◆ be a citizen or permanent resident of Canada;

◆ be of good character;

◆ hold an undergraduate engineering degree from a CanadianEngineering Accreditation Board (CEAB)-accredited program(or possess equivalent qualifications). Refer below to sections“Minimum Academic Requirement” and “Applicants who donot hold a degree from a CEAB-accredited program;”

◆ successfully complete PEO’s Professional Practice Exami-nation (PPE); and

◆ demonstrate at least 48 months of verifiable, acceptableengineering experience, at least 12 months of which mustbe acquired in a Canadian jurisdiction under a licensedprofessional engineer (P.Eng.)

PEO will accept an Application for Licence before theapplicant has satisfied all of the above-noted require-ments; however all requirements must be satisfied before alicence can be granted.

In accordance with PEO’s governing legislation, an applicantfor licence must be able to communicate adequately in the Eng-lish language. Therefore, if a question is raised with respect tothis ability, PEO shall make this determination.

Minimum Academic Requirement

The minimum academic requirement to apply for a profes-sional engineering licence, recognized by Council, is gradua-tion from a three-year engineering technology program or athree-year university science program in a relevant engineer-ing field. Applicants who meet the minimum academic

requirement but do not have a Bachelor of Engineeringdegree may be required to write and pass up to 18 examina-tions and submit an acceptable Engineering Report.

Reinstatements

Applicants who have been previously licensed by PEO and areseeking reinstatement, because they either resigned or allowedtheir licence to lapse, are not required to submit transcripts orwrite any examinations. However, prior to submitting theirApplication for Licence forms, applicants for reinstatement arerequired to contact PEO’s Licensing and Registration Depart-ment in order that a reinstatement letter may be issued to them,stating the fees due and any other requirements. After receipt ofthis letter, applicants for reinstatement must submit an Applica-tion for Licence form, together with the fees indicated in theletter, and indicate in Section 8 of the form the names andaddresses of two referees who can attest to their good character.

Transfers

Applicants who have been licensed as professional engineersby another Canadian engineering association/order for atleast five years immediately before applying to PEO are notrequired to submit transcripts or write PEO’s PPE. Howev-er, applicants who have been licensed as professional engi-neers by another Canadian engineering association/orderfor fewer than five years before applying to PEO will berequired to meet PEO’s current licensing requirements withrespect to academic qualifications and engineering workexperience. In addition, they must complete PEO’s PPE, ifthey have not successfully completed an equivalent PPE inthe Canadian engineering association/order where they arelicensed. Contact PEO’s Licensing and Registration Depart-ment for further details.

Note to Prospective Immigrants to Ontario

PEO will accept and process Applications for Licence fromapplicants who have not yet obtained approval of their immi-gration application from Citizenship and Immigration Cana-da. However, it should be understood that permanent residen-cy status in Canada is required before a licence can be granted.

GENERAL INFORMATION

4 Licensing Guide

Applicants who hold a degree from a CEAB-accredited program

Applicants whose undergraduate engineering degrees havebeen awarded by a Canadian university whose program isaccredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board(CEAB) are deemed to satisfy PEO’s academic requirementsbut must ensure that original transcripts of their academicstudies are sent directly to PEO by the institutions fromwhich they received their degrees. Photocopied transcriptsand/or “student issued” transcripts are not acceptable.

Applicants who do not hold an undergraduatedegree from a CEAB-accredited program:

The following documents must accompany the applicationfor licence:

◆ original transcripts, diplomas, degrees and/or certificates.Copies of the originals will be accepted if the copies aresigned and certified as a true copy of the original by aCanadian professional engineer (with licence number) ora notary public of Ontario. Applicants may also bringtheir originals and copies to PEO’s office for verification.However, transcripts issued by Canadian or United Statesinstitutions must be sent directly to PEO from the institu-tion. Photocopied transcripts and/or student-issued tran-scripts are not acceptable;

◆ abstracts of theses for postgraduate degrees; and

◆ in addition, if the original transcripts, diplomas, degrees,certificates and/or abstracts are not in English, Englishtranslations must be prepared by a certified member ofthe Association of Translators and Interpreters ofOntario or by a Canadian professional engineer, whomust certify that he/she is fluent in both languages. If atranslator cannot be found for your language, contactthe Licensing and Registration Department. (Please notethat P.Eng. licence holders should not use their P.Eng.

seals on non-engineering documents. Transcripts anddiplomas are non-engineering documents.)

Applicants are also requested to provide course descriptionsof the subjects they have taken during their entire engineer-ing education. English translations made by the applicant areacceptable for the course descriptions only. Applicants maysubmit their applications without including these coursedescriptions; however, failure to provide the course descrip-tions could delay the academic review or could result in theassignment of additional examinations.

Course descriptions are brief paragraphs that clearly describethe material covered during the course.

PEO will assess the academic qualifications of applicants whodo not hold an undergraduate degree from a CEAB-accredit-ed program to determine if they meet PEO’s academicrequirements for licensing. This assessment normally takesabout two months after the receipt of academic transcript(s)and all supporting documents.

Following this review, PEO may accept applicants’ acade-mic qualifications or may assign applicants a technicalexamination program. Technical exams are usually assignedeither:

◆ to ascertain whether an applicant’s academic preparation isequivalent to that provided by an undergraduate engineer-ing program accredited by the CEAB, or

◆ to remedy identified deficiencies in an applicant’sacademic preparation compared to a CEAB-accreditedprogram.

Applicants may be assigned one of the following technicalexamination programs:

◆ Confirmatory Examination Program. Applicants whose acade-mic preparation appears to be similar to that provided by aCEAB-accredited engineering program will normally beassigned a Confirmatory Examination Program (CEP).

PEO’s LICENSING/ADMISSION PROCESS

PEO’s licensing/admission process proceeds as follows:

◆ fulfill the stipulated academic requirements;

◆ successfully complete PEO’s Professional Practice Exami-nation (PPE); and

◆ fulfill PEO’s work experience requirements (minimum of48 months).

Applicants must have met PEO’s academic requirementsbefore they are eligible to write the PPE. However accept-able engineering experience may begin once an applicanthas obtained an undergraduate engineering degree. Pleasesee the section on “Fulfilling the Work ExperienceRequirements” on page 6.

FULFILLING THE ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS

A CEP comprises three professional (technical) examina-tions and one Complementary Studies examination. Its aimis to give the applicant an opportunity to confirm that thecontent of his or her engineering studies is equivalent tothe comparable CEAB-accredited engineering program.

Applicants who have been assigned a CEP, but who alsohave at least five years of overall engineering work experi-ence, will usually also have the level of their experientialknowledge in their discipline-specific engineering funda-mentals assessed by PEO’s Experience RequirementsCommittee (ERC). This assessment may require that theapplicant attend an interview. As a result of its assessment,the ERC interview panel may recommend that the appli-cant’s assigned CEP be waived.

Applicants assigned a CEP cannot take courses at a uni-versity in lieu of the assigned examinations.

Applicants who obtained failing marks in the CEP maybe designated as “failed to confirm.” Once an applicant isdesignated as “failed to confirm,” PEO will assign a Spe-cific Examination Program (SEP) in order to address theapplicant’s academic deficiencies. The engineering experi-ence of an applicant who is designated as “failed to con-firm” does not begin until after the academic require-ments for licensing are met. Please see the section on“Fulfilling the Work Experience requirements” on page 6.

◆ Phase I Examination Program. Applicants who meet the min-imum academic requirement to apply for a professionalengineering licence, but do not hold a Bachelor of Engineer-ing degree and have fewer than 10 years of engineering expe-rience, are normally assigned a Phase 1 Examination Pro-gram. This program comprises at least four examinations inthe Basic Studies category. Applicants must complete theirPhase I Examination Program before they are assigned addi-tional discipline-specific and Complementary Studies exami-nations and the Engineering Report.

◆ Specific Examination Program. Applicants whose academicqualifications are judged by PEO to fall between those ofa technology diploma and those of an engineering degreewill be assigned a Specific Examination Program. Thisprogram may consist of up to 18 examinations and wouldinclude basic, technical and complementary examinationsplus an engineering report.

Applicants who have been assigned a Specific Examina-tion Program but who have at least 10 years of engineer-ing experience may have their experience in the assignedsubject areas assessed by the ERC to determine the level ofapplication of the corresponding fundamental engineeringprinciples pertaining to each of the assigned examination

subjects. An interview is usually required. The ERCinterview panel may recommend that the applicant notbe required to write some or all of the assigned exami-nations with the exception of the examinations in theBasic Studies and the Engineering Report, which theERC interview panel cannot recommend waiving.

If applicants wish to take courses at a university in lieu oftheir assigned SEP, they must receive PEO’s priorapproval of the acceptability of the courses.

PEO offers technical examinations twice annually (inspring and winter) at several centres across the province.PEO will send applicants who have been assigned exami-nations information about the examinations, explainwhen they may begin writing, specify the time limits forcompleting an examination program, and provide otherguidelines. PEO may close the files of applicants who donot adhere to the strict time limits set out in PEO’s gov-erning legislation.

Applicants should know that interviews with the ERC forassessment of the possibility of waiving assigned CEPs orSEPs are optional. Applicants may choose to write the corre-sponding examination programs without attending ERCinterviews.

An applicant may not be required to write examinations inthe following two cases:

◆ applicants who have successfully completed postgraduatestudies at a Canadian university in the same engineeringdiscipline as the applicant’s non-Canadian undergraduateengineering degree; or

◆ applicants who have an engineering degree in a programacceptable to PEO, awarded by an institution in a coun-try that has a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA)with the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers.Currently, these countries are Australia, Hong Kong,Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the United King-dom and the United States. (Please note: For Hong Kong,the degree must have been granted in 1995 or later. ForSouth Africa, the degree must have been granted inNovember 1999 or later. For all other countries, thedegree must have been granted in November 1989 orlater.) If transcripts are coming from a MRA school,please ask the school’s registrar to forward certified tran-scripts directly to PEO. Your application cannot beassessed without proper transcripts.

In both cases, however, if the applicant’s academic qualifica-tions are not deemed to be equivalent to those required forlicensure in PEO, examinations will be assigned.

Licensing Guide 5

6 Licensing Guide

All applicants for licensing must pass the PPE. The three-hour, closed-book examination requires succinct, essay-type responses to questions that cover ethics, professionalpractice, engineering law and professional liability. ThePPE is held three times each year: in the spring, the sum-mer and the fall. Applicants must attempt to write the PPEwithin two years of the date on which they become eligibleto write (normally five sittings of the PPE). PEO willinform all applicants of these dates during the licensingprocess.

Applicants who do not hold an undergraduate degree from aCEAB-accredited program must have their academic qualifi-

cations reviewed and have met PEO’s academic qualificationsbefore they are eligible to write the PPE.

PEO will advise all applicants of the nearest examinationcentre and the exact examination date within two monthsof the examination sitting. If an applicant is unable toattend on a regularly scheduled sitting, the applicantshould write to PEO’s Exam Centre who will try to arrangea special examination sitting at a time and location moreconvenient to the applicant.

PEO will provide the applicant with the titles of the suggest-ed textbooks for the Professional Practice Examination.

PEO evaluates each applicant’s engineering experienceagainst five, quality-based criteria:

◆ Application of Theory;

◆ Practical Experience;

◆ Management of Engineering;

◆ Communication Skills; and

◆ Awareness of the Social Implications of Engineering.

Applicants for licensing as a professional engineer:

◆ are required to demonstrate a minimum of 48 months ofverifiable, acceptable engineering experience gained fol-lowing the completion of their undergraduate engineeringdegree, unless they were assigned a “failed-to-confirm” orSpecific Examination Program. In these cases, the engi-neering experience starts when the PEO examination pro-gram is completed;

◆ may be eligible to receive credit for up to 12 months of pre-graduation experience toward the 48 months of requiredexperience. This experience must be relevant to the overallpractice after graduation and must be obtained after themidpoint of the undergraduate engineering program;

◆ may be eligible to receive credit for the equivalent of 12 monthsof experience toward the 48 months of required experience forsuccessfully receiving a postgraduate engineering degree(s);

◆ may be eligible to receive credit for associated applied researchthesis work conducted within the framework of postgraduatedegree requirements, if such work is sponsored or used by indus-try. The total of this applied research-related credit plus the 12months’ credit related to the award of the postgraduate degreecannot exceed the time spent to complete the postgraduatedegree requirements; and

◆ must acquire at least 12 months of acceptable engineeringexperience in a Canadian jurisdiction, under a licensed profes-sional engineer. This experience must be in addition to thatobtained at the pregraduation stage and/or the 12 months’credit for successfully receiving a postgraduate degree(s).However, a credit related to the applied research portion ofthe postgraduate degree can be used to help to meet therequirement for engineering work experience in a Canadianjurisdiction.

For more detailed information about the experience assess-ment criteria, please see the booklet Guide to the RequiredExperience for Licensing as a Professional Engineer in Ontario.
