APEGS 萨省工程师协会职业认证申请指南
The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan,萨省专业工程师和地球学家协会,简称APEGS,负责加拿大工程师和地球学家职业的认证工作。
APEGS与加拿大EE和萨省省提名SINP的关系
EE下有3种类别的移民申请:FSW,FST和CEC。萨省政府会通过省提名计划SINP到EE中选拔符合条件的申请人来满足当地劳动力市场的需要。
工程职业和地球科学职业在萨省属于监管职业,如果打算申请这种职业的萨省省提名SINP,需要获得APEGS的member-in-training license。如果打算在萨省从事工程职业或地球科学类职业,申请人要么申请APEGS的认证,要么由专业工程师、专业地学科学家、工程职业许可人、地球科学职业许可人或临时许可人来监管。为了能尽快融入萨省劳动力市场,建议申请人尽快申请APEGS。APEGS没有居住要求,因此申请人可以在申请移民之前在加拿大境外申请。
- Engineering and Geoscience are regulated professions in Saskatchewan. If you plan to immigrate to Saskatchewan and work as an engineer or geoscientist then you must obtain your member-in-training license with APEGS to be eligible to apply for SINP.
- In order to practice engineering or geoscience in Saskatchewan, you must either become licensed by APEGS or be supervised by a professional engineer, professional geoscientist, engineering licensee, geoscience licensee or temporary licensee.
- In order to expedite your transition into the work force in Saskatchewan, it is recommended that you begin the application process with APEGS as soon as possible. There is no residency requirement for your application or approval as a member, and you can apply prior to immigrating to Canada.
移民申请本身与APEGS认证是两个完全独立的过程,但是申请了APEGS的认证能够加快你技术移民申请速度:获得APEGS许可后,可以增加你获得job offer的机会。而如果你获得了job off,就能够大大增加你在EE中被选中的机会(加600分)。
申请工程师注册时,首先需要提交 engineer-in-training 申请,同时提供相关的支持材料。APEGS 是按先到先处理的原则处理申请。当你申请 engineer-in-training成功后,再满足一定的条件后,就可以申请专业工程师注册了 professional engineering。
大部分情况下APEGS都会进行academic review,从提交材料到收到结果,academic review大概需要1年的时间。如果academic review的结果是denial,那么申请人当前就无法申请APEGS认证。

-
申请人需要提交加拿大境外获得的所有工学学历相关的学历和成绩单。WES会将结果直接告知APEGS,并给其发复印件。申请人无需给APEGS发。
-
WES不会代替APEGS的学历评估程序。因为两者目的不同。WES主要评估你的学历等同于加拿大哪个级别。而APEGS需要评估课程的内容。
备注:如果申请人有美国NCEES Record,就无需提供WES了。
- Note regarding ii) that if you have a NCEES Record in the United States, then the WES assessment is not necessary. The NCEES Record contains all the documents we need, except for Proof of ID. For Professional Engineers registered in the USA who do not qualify for Temporary Licensee, we will let you know if we need anything further after reviewing your application, NCEES Record and Proof of ID. Also, WES assessment is not required if you qualify under a professional level Mutual Recognition Agreement (Australia, Hong Kong, Ireland, Mexico, Texas).
STEP 3: 邮寄材料 Mail proof of ID and Canadian Educational documents to APEGS
1.申请人如果也有加拿大学历,需要让加拿大学校将成绩单直接寄给APEGS.
2.申请人需要将身份证明文件邮邮寄给APEGS,不能通过传真或者扫描方式发送。关于proof of ID的说明见最下方。
STEP 4: 学历评估 Academic Assessment (required for most international graduates)
Academic Assessment 申请流程:
APEGS收到在线申请后,会确定申请人是否需要做学历评估。如果需要,会在3周内通过邮件通知申请人。申请人需要支付210加币的申请费(在收到发票后在线支付即可)。同时会发给申请人一个自我评估表 self-assessment form ,并告诉你是否需要提供课程描述。自我评估表中的学术评价部分需要根据课程描述填写。APEGS都是通过Email联系申请人,因此申请人要提供有效的邮箱地址。
申请人需要将以下材料通过Email发送给APEGS:
- 学历评估申请表(Academic Assessment Application );
- 自我评估申请表;
- 官方课程描述(如需要提供);
- 简历。
申请完成后的步骤 Next Steps
以上4步都完成,而且APEGS也收到相关的材料后,会发email告知申请人,材料已经收到,正在处理中。不提供email或者电话咨询。学历评估完成后,会将结果邮寄给申请人。
关于Academic Assessment: APEGS需要将你的工学学历背景与加拿大工学学历标准进行对比,加拿大工学资格委员会负责制定相关标准(The Engineers Canada - Canadian Engineering Qualifications Board (CEQB))。CEQB给出了加拿大大学最常见的工学学科的大纲描述。有一个适用于所有学科的基本教学大纲,还有一个指定学科的教学大纲,两个教学大纲都需要满足。
APEGS will compare your academic background to the Canadian academic standard for engineering. The Engineers Canada - Canadian Engineering Qualifications Board (CEQB) has set this standard. The CEQB has provided syllabus descriptions for the most common engineering disciplines that are offered at Canadian Universities. There is a basic studies syllabus that is common to all disciplines. There is also a discipline specific syllabus. Both of these must be met. The self-assessment tables that you are required to fill out as part of the academic assessment are based on these syllabus descriptions. APEGS will send you the appropriate self assessment table after you have submitted your application. APEGS will carefully review your self-assessment for accuracy and we will create our own assessment using the same table.
学历评估的结果 Possible Results of Academic Assessment
Academic Assessment共有2种结果,一种是评估通过,然后就会安排确认考试;另外一种是发现与大纲之间有gaps,需要fulfill或者被拒。
1. Deficiencies
如果评估后发现你的学历跟CEQB大纲比,有gaps,那么你需要fill这些gaps or “deficiencies”。但是如果超过6个 “deficiencies”,APEGS就会拒绝此申请。
If there are any gaps in your academic background compared to the CEQB syllabi, then you will be assigned to fill these gaps or “deficiencies”. You are allowed a maximum of deficiencies. If you have more than six deficiencies then APEGS will deny your application. However you will be given a “roadmap” of what you must do to re-apply in the future. You are given three options for fulfilling deficiencies:
共有3种方式可以fulfill deficiencies:
- 参加批准的课程学学习(taking an approved course(s));
- 参加考试(writing challenge exams);
- 提供工作经验证明也叫学历前认证(writing a description of work experience that demonstrates knowledge of the deficient areas (called Recognition of Prior Learning or RPL)).
2. 确认考试 Confirmatory Exams
如果APEGS评估后,认为你的工学学士学位符合CEQB标准,就会给你安排确认考试。
以下情况可以豁免确认考试:
- 获得理学硕士、工学硕士或者工学博士;
- 5年以上认可的工作经验;
- The ARC has determined that your performance in completing deficiencies through the course or exam route demonstrates an acceptable level of education
确认考试完成后(或者被豁免了),APEGS就会通知你,你已经被授予培训工程师会员( engineer-in-training),并且通知你交会员费。交完会员费后,会寄给你stamp and certificate,然后你就可以使用 engineer-in-training 头衔了。
各类别会员费用可以参考:APEGS
Once Confirmatory exams have been completed, or they have been waived, APEGS will send you a letter informing you that you have been approved as an engineer-in-training. This letter will include a notice for your membership dues. Once you have paid the dues, we will send you your stamp and certificate. You will also be eligible to use the “engineer-in-training” title.
APEGS 专业会员 (Professional Member (from member-in-training))
如果申请人已经被批准为 Geoscientist-in-Training 或 an Engineer-in-Training,接下来就可以申请专业会员了(professional membership).
2011.1.1之后的Engineer-in-Training,申请专业会员的费用为105加币,周期为1个月。 Professional Engineer from APEGS engineer-in-training (applied as eng-in-training after January 1, 2011)
申请专业会员的要求
- 拥有工作审核委员会认可的4年工作经验;
- 通过了专业执业考试(Professional Practice Exam);
- 满足 Good Character 要求;
- 需要有3个专业工程师/地球科学家作为推荐人;
- 母语不是英语,并且大学期间非英语授课的申请人,需要满足英语要求:A类雅思4个6,或者其他英语考试,认可的英语考试种类可以参考: http://www.apegs.ca/Portal/Sites-Management/FileDownload/DataDownload/1191/Reg7.0_Eng_Comp_Website_Jan2014/pdf/1/1033;
- You must have 4 years of work experience approved by the Experience Review Committee

专业会员申请流程
申请人的工作经验被认可,并且通过PPE考试后,就可以正式申请专业会员身份了。当然申请也可以和PPE考试或者经验认可申请(哪个靠后与哪个一起)同时提交。
在线申请
- 入口:https://www.apegsservices.ca/applications/default.aspx
- 在线申请需要通过信用卡支付。
纸质申请:
1.申请表下载地址: APEGS
2.注意:表格只有在付费后才能使用。
3.填写完成后,签字扫描,然后通过电子邮件、传真或邮寄的方式,给APEGS。可以使用的支付方式有:credit card, cheque, cash or debit
Scan and then email or fax or mail the completed paper application to the APEGS office ([email protected]). You may pay for paper applications by credit card, cheque, cash or debit (cash or debit in person at the APEGS office only).
其他需要了解的注意事项:
-
只要是没有在加拿大任何一个省申请过注册的人,不论他们有多少年的工作经验,在他们申请成为专业工程师之前 professional engineer ,都必须先申请MIT - member-in-training。
-
direct confirmation of graduation and degree: APEGS 在授予你 member-in-training 之前,需要你的学位授予学校确认你获得的学位水平和获得时间。主要是为了防止申请人造假。
-
如果本科学位不是工学或地球科学:那么申请人就无法申请APEGS注册,除非本科学位是相关领域的,并且有工学的研究生学历,才有可能符合要求。
If you bachelor level education is not in either of these fields, then you may not be qualified to apply for a licence. However, if your bachelor degree is in a related field and you have a graduate degree in engineering or geoscience you may meet the academic requirements for member-in-training. You must follow the same process as international graduates, because we require a full academic assessment. If you do not think you can meet the academic requirements for member-in-training, but you have a significant amount of engineering or geoscience work experience then you may qualify as a engineering licencee or geoscience licencee. The Engineering Licensee and Geoscience Licensee page contains a table that shows how much work experience would be required for your type of education.
- 会员和许可的区别 the difference between membership and licensure:
APEGS的年费包括2部分:会员费和许可费。如果你是萨省的执业工程师,那么两个费用都需要支付。如果
你有一段时间未执业,可以豁免许可费,只交会员费,并保留你的会员身份。当你再次执业的时候,无需重新申请,直接补交许可费就可以。
APEGS annual dues contain two components: a membership fee and a licence fee. If you are a practicing engineering or geoscientist in Saskatchewan you must pay both. If you are not practicing for a certain period of time you, can have your license fee waived, but maintain your membership in APEGS. This allows you to re-instate your licensee at any time without having to re-apply. You must re-instate your license if you start practicing again. Retaining your membership allows you to vote for Council and at the annual meeting. If you resign your membership or your membership lapses because you have not paid your dues, then you will have to re-apply to start practicing again. See the Reinstatement page for details of when you need to reapply and what is involved.
