Hi Salmanahm,
Good day. Really thanks a lot and appreciate for all of your information. I would like to get some ideas from you.
I am a Electrical Engineer and working experience 11 years at Singapore. My highest qualification is M.Sc (Electrical Engineering) from one of the university from Washington Accord Lists. As I already done my short landing at Vancouver and I already got my PR cards. I am planning to land permanently around April, 2016.
Currently, I already registered with APEGBC (Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of BC) and they waive all academic exams for P.Eng (Electrical Engineer). I am going to take my Practice Exam (Electrical Engineer) around Sept 2016. But I don't have Canada experience 1 year, I need to work 1 year under P.Eng to become P.Eng.
During this 1 year, I am worry to find job at Vancouver, so I am planning to take Industrial Electrician (NOC-7242) with ITA (Red Seal Certificate) and last week I already sent my challenge application for Electrician Industrial and now waiting to accept by ITA for REDSEAL , Electrician (Industrial).
Please see my questions as per below.
1) Do you think will ITA accept my challenge application for Electrician (Industrial)? as my application for P.Eng is half way now? I saw somebody saying that under P.Eng application with Regulatory body, they will not allow for Red seal?
2) If they accept, How do you prepare for the redseal exam? If you have any previous exam questions or study materials, can you please send it to my email my email: myatthusoe80@gmail.com?
3) If you have study materials, please share with me (my email: myatthusoe80@gmail.com and singapore mobile is +65-96928006) and thanks a lot. I am now studying as per below reference materials from ITA. Do you think correct study materials? As I read from your post, you attended bridging program before red seal exam. For red seal exam is 100 MCQs and 3 hours? Can I bring one A4 paper to write down all the formulas or if cannot, there are too many to memorize it. Please advice. As Calculator cannot bring own one, do you practice with similar calculator?
