Become an engineer-in-training

Being a licensed engineer is required by law if you plan to call yourself an engineer and practise engineering in Canada and it demonstrates the highest standard of proficiency in the field. It’s not only a sign of your personal achievement; it’s an assurance of quality to employers, clients, and society. In Canada, the granting or regulation of engineering licences (known as licensure) is managed by provincial and territorial engineering regulators.
