APEGS Temporary Licensee

Canada provides a large number of opportunities for engineers.  Due to this, engineers from all over the world are migrating to this land. There is a province in this country, Saskatchewan. The engineering competency assessment authority in this province is APEGS (the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan). This assessment authority provides engineering licence to those who fulfill its assessment criteria. Apart from that, you also need to remember that only a licensed engineer is called a professional engineer in Canada. Therefore, having an engineering licence that APEGS issues are a must to practice engineering in the province. One of the licences APEGS provides is a Temporary licence. What is it, and how to attain it? Let’s know in this blog.

APEGS Temporary Licence:

A Temporary Licence is for those professional engineers having registration in the State of Texas or with a Cedula in Mexico. Apart from that, they need to have a bachelor’s degree in engineering and fulfill the requirements below.

This yearly licence is called ‘temporary. The reason for this is it can only be renewed for up to 3 years.

A Temporary Licensee candidate doesn’t need to write the Professional Practice Exam (PPE).

A Temporary Licensee is not a member of APEGS. Therefore, they can’t take part in the governance of the Association.

If not eligible for a temporary licence, you need to follow the same application steps as an Engineer-in-Training International Graduate. If you need your licence in Saskatchewan for more than 3 years, then you need to become a Professional Engineer.

When you submit your application, you need to choose the application type ‘Professional Engineer from Temporary Licensee’. There is not any fee for this application. However, you need to write and pass the PPE before you are eligible to apply.
