Why you see this In Saskatchewan the application comes first, then you order the WES report.
Comes after:
In APEGS Central: “Applications”, then “Apply Now”, then “Engineer-in-Training International Graduate”.
Answer the good-character questions truthfully (discipline, convictions, earlier refusals). APEGS does not require a formal criminal record check, but you must declare any conviction.
Pay by credit card; the application is submitted on payment. Without a card, ask APEGS for a paper application.
All required materials must arrive within one year, or the application is closed and you must reapply and pay again.
The fee is $200 plus 5% GST, that is $210. It is non-refundable.
Fee: CAD 200 plus tax · EIT International Graduate application (plus GST, non-refundable) · APEGS
Published processing time: APEGS: 2 to 4 months (estimate). (the body’s time, not your own time to complete)
How you know it is done When the application shows as “Applied” in the portal.
Why you see this It allows independent practice within a scope designated on your licence.
Eligibility: a four-year science degree with at least five years of experience, a two-year engineering technology diploma with eight years, or two years of an engineering or science bachelor’s with eight years; in all cases five years under direct supervision of a Canadian licensed engineer or equivalent, and five years in the requested scope.
Plus the competency assessment, four references, the NPPE and English competence.
Why you see this The programme is for forcibly displaced people who studied in a programme country, live in Canada or the US and cannot obtain official records.
You need copies of your diploma or transcript.
Access is through a partner organisation that confirms your eligibility. Ask your local settlement agency.
APEGS says it accepts a WES Gateway report.

Why you see this This is the report required from graduates outside Canada, including Sudanese graduates.
Comes after:
On WES: Canada, Standard Application, purpose “Professional License/Certification”, APEGS as recipient. Include your bachelor’s and all engineering education outside Canada.
If you have a WES immigration ECA, upgrade it to ICAP Course-by-Course from your account.
If you studied in Sudan: WES asks for an official English transcript sent by the university and a copy of the degree certificate in English uploaded to your account. Write your WES reference on every document and do not send originals.
WES delivers the report to APEGS electronically; hard copies are not accepted.

Why you see this Every application needs a new proof-of-ID form.
Comes after:
Copy a valid (not expired) government-issued photo ID.
A guarantor meets you in person, writes the certification on the ID page, stamps and signs it. Allowed guarantors: a Canadian P.Eng. or P.Geo., an Eng.L. or Geo.L., a notary public, a lawyer or an APEGS staff member. You cannot be your own guarantor.
Send the form and ID as one PDF. The form says apegs@apegs.ca and the guide says documents-academicreview@apegs.ca; ask APEGS if unsure.
How you know it is done When APEGS accepts your proof of ID.
Why you see this APEGS reviews the WES report and tells you whether an academic assessment is needed. WES does not assess your program content.
Comes after:
Level 1: no academic assessment (for example an accredited program, or a 120-credit engineering bachelor’s with a Canadian graduate degree in a related discipline).
Level 2: an academic assessment is required. The Academic Review Committee then decides: approved, confirmatory exams, deficiencies, or denial (more than 21 credit units of deficiencies).
Level 3: fewer than 90 credits or a degree missing engineering content. The EIT file is closed and you are told whether you qualify as an Engineering Licensee.
Whenever a new decision arrives, change “The decision you received” here.
Published processing time: By Saskatchewan law, a regulator has at most 50 business days to tell an internationally trained applicant whether more training, experience, exams or assessments are needed. APEGS: a full academic assessment takes about 2–4 months (estimate). (the body’s time, not your own time to complete)
How you know it is done When you receive the decision by email.
Why you see this The Academic Review Committee compares your program with the CEQB syllabus.
Comes after:
A technical resume of at most five pages, with month/year dates, employer, location, title and duties, to documents-academicreview@apegs.ca.
Download the self-assessment table closest to your discipline (the version updated in January 2026), write each WES course name beside the matching subject, and send it in Word format.
Pay the invoice from your profile. When everything arrives, the status becomes “In Progress”.
When the committee’s result arrives, change “The decision you received” in the academic decision step.
Why you see this Your program looks comparable; its level must be confirmed in one of these ways.
Comes after:
The NCEES FE exam, with no limit on attempts.
Or three technical exams: two from Group A and one from Group B, online through EGBC twice a year. Pass mark 50% on each, with a combined average of 55%.
Or a postgraduate diploma, master’s or PhD in the same discipline with enough technical content.
Or work-experience reporting in the competency system, only if APEGS offers it (more than four years in the same discipline): technical competencies only, three attempts.
If you fail the same technical exam topic three times, no further technical exams are allowed and you must write the FE, with no limit on FE attempts (APEGS’s updated rule).
The Fall/Winter 2026 exam application form still says three failures in any combination mean the application is denied. If you are near a third attempt, confirm with APEGS.
You must finish within four years of the academic result, or the application is closed (your results stay on file).
Fee: CAD 460 plus tax · Per technical exam (plus 15% administration fee and 5% GST, non-refundable) · APEGS
Published processing time: APEGS: technical exam results 45 to 60 business days after the exam. (the body’s time, not your own time to complete)
How you know it is done When APEGS confirms the academic requirement is met.
Why you see this Only one reassessment is allowed, and it needs new information.
Comes after:
Reassessment: for example an official published syllabus, an updated WES report or a new graduate degree. Email questions-academicreview@apegs.ca.
Council review: send a written letter within 30 days after a written copy of the decision is served, with your grounds and documents. You may also make a verbal presentation.
If membership or a licence is refused, you may appeal to a judge of the Court of King’s Bench within 30 days of being notified by the Registrar.
The Government of Saskatchewan’s credential recognition navigators (navigator@gov.sk.ca) can help you understand your options.
Without a suitable engineering degree, look at the Engineering Licensee category.
How you know it is done When you have chosen your next step. This roadmap does not track the review.
Why you see this Once the academic requirement is met and everything is submitted.
Comes after:
You receive an email with an invoice for annual fees pro-rated for the rest of the year. Do not pay before you receive it.
After paying you may use the title “Engineer-in-Training” written in full; “EIT” is not a designated title in Saskatchewan.
From now on your engineering work must be directly supervised by a professional engineer, or a mentor acceptable to Council. Member-in-training registration expires after seven years.
When you receive the decision, record it here.
Fee: CAD 350 plus tax · Member-in-Training annual fees (plus 5% GST, pro-rated the first time) · APEGS
Published processing time: APEGS: approval generally takes 2–3 weeks. (the body’s time, not your own time to complete)
How you know it is done When the fees are paid and you are registered.
Why you see this The Registrar’s decision can be reviewed.
Comes after:
Council review: send a written letter within 30 days after a written copy of the decision is served, with your grounds and documents. You may also make a verbal presentation.
If membership or a licence is refused, you may appeal to a judge of the Court of King’s Bench within 30 days of being notified by the Registrar.

Without a suitable engineering degree, look at the Engineering Licensee category.
How you know it is done When you have chosen your next step.
Why you see this The P.Eng. needs 48 months of validated experience, including at least six months in the two years before you submit. Canadian experience is not required.
Comes after:
Create an account at competencyassessment.ca with your APEGS registration number (approval can take up to five business days).
Write one example per competency (Situation, Action, Outcome). Examples from outside Canada for the Canadian competencies must explain why they are equivalent (standards, codes, climate).
At least four validators, two licensed in Canada or equivalent. For work abroad, a validator needs a four-year engineering degree and four years of experience at the time.
Validators must understand and answer in English on their own: do not type or translate for them, or the validation may be rejected.
A course-based master’s does not count. A thesis master’s counts up to one year, a PhD one year (possibly two).
Upload the signed CBA Declaration Form before submitting.
How you know it is done When you have submitted and your validators have completed their part.
Why you see this You must be an Engineer-in-Training and CPD-compliant for the previous year.
Comes after:
Complete APEGS’s NPPE form and sign the candidate agreement, and email both to professional-practice-exam@apegs.ca by APEGS’s deadline (which differs from the NPPE website).
Pay the invoice in APEGS Central. Meazure Learning then sends a booking link; book with the correct time zone.
You can write from outside Canada. You need a second camera (phone or tablet) and valid government ID.
APEGS no longer defers sessions. You have four attempts; after a fourth failure there is a one-year wait.
Fee: CAD 145 plus tax · NPPE (plus 15% administration fee and 5% GST) · APEGS
Published processing time: APEGS: results 2–3 weeks after the exam session. (the body’s time, not your own time to complete)
How you know it is done When APEGS records your pass.
Why you see this Required for the P.Eng. application. APEGS Policy REG7.0 requires a test from some applicants.
Comes after:
The policy says a test applies to applicants whose first language is not English “or” who did not complete a degree taught in English. This may include English-taught Sudanese graduates; ask APEGS.
Required level: CLB 8 in all areas. Examples: TOEFL iBT 80, IELTS Academic 6.0, CanTEST 4.0.
You may appeal the test requirement: send your argument in your own handwriting with at least one reference, including a P.Eng. or P.Geo. who knows your English.
How you know it is done When APEGS accepts your English competence.
Council review: send a written letter within 30 days after a written copy of the decision is served, with your grounds and documents. You may also make a verbal presentation.
If membership or a licence is refused, you may appeal to a judge of the Court of King’s Bench within 30 days of being notified by the Registrar.

How you know it is done When you have chosen your next step. This roadmap does not track the review.
All engineering disciplines follow the same route. The discipline matters for the self-assessment and exams, and experience should be in a related discipline.
Engineer-in-Training: covered
Professional Engineer (P.Eng.): covered
Engineer-in-Training, Canadian Graduate: not covered · Not covered: for graduates of CEAB-accredited Canadian programs.
Engineering Licensee: not covered · Listed as an alternative only: for people without an engineering bachelor’s degree who have substantial supervised experience.
Inter-association or international mobility: not covered · Not covered: for people already registered in Canada, or licensed in IPEA or APEC countries; even they apply as a member-in-training first.
APEGS does not pre-assess qualifications: eligibility is decided after a complete application and academic documents.
Every first-time applicant starts as an Engineer-in-Training, whatever their experience or place of study, even with a Canadian master’s or PhD.
There is no Canadian-experience requirement and no rule that differs by immigration status.
If you apply to the SINP in an engineering occupation, it asks for APEGS correspondence (EIT approval pending fees, or a letter assigning confirmatory exams). A nomination does not guarantee licensure.
