Sure you can apply before you landed. If you apply when you reach to Canada, you are wasting your time. check which province you are going to apply.
1) If your undergraduate degree is from one of the Washington Accord
OR if your undergraduate degree is NOT from Washington Accord lists then your post graduate degree is from Washington Accord lists? If yes, they will probably waive all of your ACADEMIC Exams. Email and check with REGISTRAR first before you apply. Otherwise they may ask you take some academic exams.
Important to check with respective P.Eng Board first because different P.Eng Board have different styles.
For Examples, when you apply with APEGBC, during PPE exam you need to write
EXTRA 1 hour ESSAY type questions for LAW and ETHICS exam. But when you apply with APEGA i think no need that ESSAY type questions.
2) After your ACADEMIC ASSESSMENTS completed, write EXPERIENCE REPORT.
3)NPPE exam (check with the P.Eng Board which you are going to apply whether they allow you to take NPPE exam outside of Canada). For APEGBC, they allow if you know any P.Eng from Canada or USA who can invigilate during your NPPE exam.
4)With APEGBC, you need to watch 2 DVDs for Law and Ethics OR attend Seminars for Law and Ethics sessions (Now no more) or online program. Check for other Province.
Until you get
PROVINCIAL LICENSE you can finish all these steps outside of CANADA, because you don't have 1 year Canada experience. After you got Provincial License, then work under P.Eng for 1 year, you will get your FULL P.Eng. Hope this help.
