Engineering International- Education Assessment Program
While not part of the registration process to become a licensed professional engineer in Canada, the Engineering International-Education Assessment Program assesses the educational qualifications of individuals who were educated and trained outside of Canada by comparing their education to a Canadian engineering education. It is the only assessment service in Canada specializing exclusively in the assessment of engineering education credentials. It does not evaluate work experience.
The assessment provides applicants with valuable information on how their foreign education compares to a Canadian engineering education. This is important as the definition of engineering varies from one country to the next. Work and training that is called Engineering with the job title Engineer in some countries may fall into a different job category in Canada. The assessment allows applicants to make an informed choice about immigrating to Canada as skilled workers or in the family class.
The assessment program provides:
-
an assessment of the engineering education credentials of people trained outside of Canada,
-
verification of educational documents,
-
a statement comparing the applicant's education to a Canadian engineering education,
-
information about the engineering profession in Canada, how to get an engineering licence, and tips on getting work in Canada, and
-
toll-free access to the assessment program "Help Desk" where applicants can request more information and referrals after their arrival in Canada.
The assessment is easy to understand and provides useful information for employers, universities and other officials. It can be completed in either English or French. Applicants also receive practical information about working as an engineer in Canada.
