International Engineering Mobility
Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba recognizes the following multinational agreements signed by Engineers Canada: The International Professional Engineering Agreement (IPEA) and Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Agreement (APEC EA).
An applicant holding the International Professional Engineer (IntPE) designation or APEC Engineer designation is eligible to apply for a temporary license.
If a temporary licensee who holds the IntPE or APEC Engineer designation passes the National Professional Practice Exam, they may apply for a certificate of registration through International Mobility. IntPE or APEC EA engineers are not required to complete competency-based assessment.
International Professional Engineer and APEC Engineer Registers
Professional engineers (P.Eng.) registered in Manitoba who wish to be recognized on the International Professional Engineers and Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Engineers Agreement Registers can apply directly to Engineers Canada for placement on the International Professional Engineers and Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Engineer registers.
Engineers Canada's registration process is a no-cost, self-assessment process whereby Canadian professional engineers declare that they meet and will maintain the qualifications to be on the registers.
Professional engineers who are currently listed on the registers will maintain their status on the registers as International Professional Engineers (IntPE (Canada)) and APEC Engineers.
