Guitarlife: CanadianNurse: To be granted a licence to practise professional engineering in a canadian province, an applicant must: 1. Meet your province of residence stipulated academic requirements for licensure (i.e. hold an undergraduate engineering degree from a Canadian Engineering Accreditation board (CEAB)-accredited program, or possess equivalent qualification, and if required, successfully complete any technical exam(s) if there are deficiencies in applicant's academic background. Your document would be evaluated, there could be one of the 3 outcomes a. Rejection b. Approval (No need for exams) c. Exams assigned (FE plus other exams specific to your discipline). This option is common if you did not study in Canada. 2. Fulfill the engineering work experience requirements i.e. (demonstrate at least 48 months of verifiable, acceptable engineering experience, at least 12 months of which must be acquired in a Canadian jurisdiction under the tutorship of a licensed professional engineer). Your experience from your home country must be at the same level as that of an engineer in Canada, else it could be discounted, and you would need more than 12 months of experience in Canada as an Engineer in training. Note that getting that 12 months in a Canadian jurisdiction could be very challenging. At this stage, you would still be referred to as an EIT and not an engineer. Checking vacancies on job sites, networking, dropping resume, or contacting agencies helping new immigrants might be able to help here at this stage. 3. Pass the Professional Practice Examination (PPE) i.e. ethics, professional practice, engineering law and professional liability (2 parts exams, general and discipline specific). 4.

Thanks for the support bro, the prep is going well. I am currently working on packaging and repacking my resume and cover letter and started sending to test the market. Obviously I still need to do alot of work in this area. I have also registered with CIQS for assessment so I can enrol for a bridging programme by the time I land. Similarly my wife has registered with NDEB. We also attended the planning for Canada orientation and trying to follow the MAP. Ita alot of work but this is where we are now. Thank you. studyexec: 6 Likes |

Hello house. God bless you all for your insightful questions and responses. Please can anyone advice on the kind of jobs a person with marketing experience from a nigerian bank and a science first degree can search for in canada |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Blackbuddy: 2:00pm On Aug 17, 2017 |
pauloverdi: There are 2 broad categorizations for someone with your background to consider as a start; Customer Service Representative (this is what tellers/cashiers are known as here) and Financial Service Representative (this is what bank marketers/relationship officers are known as). Other positions to consider are Call Center Agent, Financial Advisor, Mortgage Advisor, Card Product Agent, etc. To get an idea of what is available, check Indeed.ca, eluta, Workopolis, glassdoor and other job sites like this, https://ca.indeed.com/Banking-jobs For bank certifications to increase your chances when you land and start your job search consider the IFC and CSC from CSI, https://www.csi.ca/student/en_ca/home.xhtml 13 Likes 9 Shares |

Hello house. Been reading this thread and i must commend everyone's effort who has contributed in one way or another. From my observation so far it is obvious that there are specific profession which are seriously cashing out and i would need some help with my current situation so i am able to make the right choice as to where i would stay when i migrate. I currently hold a Business degree and also an MBA in the same field. My work experience is not in my field considering the fact that i had to work part time for survival through out my studying in the UK. And i just have one year work experience during my Nysc last year. Please what certifications can i do to boost my career. Seem like IT in Canada is serious HOT CAKE ![]() ![]() Plenty thanks in advance. |

Hi All - I have an enquiry about APEGA Registration (for engineers) and I believe someone can help. So I had my credential evaluation completed via WES, which what I used for my EE application. I have received my PR now. To get myself prepared for Canada, I decided to register with APEGA to get EIT status. So, I applied for an upgrade of my WES report (i.e. I applied for the course-by-course evaluation). My understanding is that my universities do not have to send my transcripts, degree certs or complete any verification again since this was done previously. Strangely, I got an email from WES few days after applying for the upgrade that my application is pending because they are awaiting verification from my universtity. I am wondering why my university will verify what has already been verified. I have sent two emails to WES via their contact page and yet no reply. I was on the phone this evening to a representative that was insisting my uni has to verify my transcript. I called again 2 hours after and spoke to another person. She also said the same thing (makes me think they have a scripted message they just read out to everyone). When she saw I wasn't having it, she said she will forward my enquiry to the appropriate dept and they will be in contact with me. Please has anyone experienced this? Also, what medium can I use to call-out WES...as it is now this email and phone calls ain't working. Sorry for my lengthy post...whew. 1 Like |
