Myat, I don't have any soft copies. I read the books prior to the exam (and like you, scoured the net for any sample questions). In reality, the questions on the exam felt more of a test of the English language/comprehension - nuanced questions, which if you read carefully will have the right...

Hi Qureishi, my background is not in occupational safety, so can't comment on online trainings etc. However, typical job postings list NCSO, OHST, CRSP etc as requirements. The US-based CSP certification is considered the equivalent to the Canadian CRSP. As far as I know, only the CSP...

Martina, if you are already in Canada, look into the OHST and NCSO designations. These are entry level certifications for people with some experience (bonus points if you already have a degree in OHS). Also look into Associate Safety Professional/Certified Safety Professional or the Canadian...

You can work anywhere in Canada, as long as you are working under the guidance of a P.Eng who can attest to your experience and ability after a year.

That's not very practical, especially if one is not in the US (where it's called PE and not P.Eng). Probably the only state for which you could do this would be Texas - and you can't become a PE in Texas unless you are working over there. Also worth noting: the Professional Practice Exam (PPE)...

Shahmad, Pakistan has some very draconian policies on sending Pakistani passports via mail either in or out of the country. As mentioned by ttrajan, your friend can request CIC to accommodate a passport stamping either from within Canada, or they can request another CIC office (for example Buffalo).

Hi Qureshi - if you are in occupational safety, then typical certifications are OHS certificate/CRSP which are required by employers. For construction/field safety an NCSO is also preferred. As far as I know, these certifications are very difficult to obtain if you are not physically in Canada...

Your landing formalities are completed in the first port of entry in Canada. Your PR card has nothing to do with where you land - if you provide an Edmonton address to the officer, your PR card will be mailed to that address. For health card, you will apply in the city/province where you plan...

Your assessment results will establish your eligibility for writing the NPPE exam (also refer to http://www.applyatapega.ca/application-checklist.html). Given your experience level, you should be eligible to write the exam, but will retain EIT status until the 1-year North-American experience...

Some other newcomers are mentioning that APEGS (Saskatchewan) is more friendly for engineers with foreign experience in excess of 5 years. I don't know the details, but would recommend you research into it before deciding. As far as I know, PEO is more stringent than others. For the poster...

There is a provision in the instructions section of the application which states "If you have not known an eligible guarantor for at least two (2) years, complete form PPTC 132, Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor, available at any Passport Program regional office in Canada or any...

I read the books and the Engineering Act. The test is more along the lines of testing your English skills. I don't have any sample questions available. Don't worry too much over it. I read the books once, but given that I wrote the exam in April 2011, the most I can recall and share is that it...

Even though I finished the test way earlier than my wife, I was made to wait and we were both interviewed by the same officer at the same time. However, we were not aware of this process and my wife had kept our son's documents with her. Unless someone has had a different experience, I would...

With the recession hitting the Oil/Gas sector very hard, you would need to be very realistic about the time it would take to find a job in your industry. There have been numerous layoffs affecting many firms, so there is a glut of locally experienced talent, making it harder for newcomers to...

I second @Bigudi's comments. There are not a lot of people out there who maintain copies of their itineraries or even boarding cards for that matter. Don't sweat it too much. The officer will review the stamps in your passport against the dates you noted in your residency calculator. If s/he...

Congrats on getting the invite. We got to our oath location 15 minutes before the official start time. They didn't start sorting us out until 1:35 and everyone was seated almost 45 minutes later (FWIW, the ceremony was in Edmonton). For a posted start time of 1:30 PM, we were actually done...

Congrats Asagalen. We participated in our ceremony yesterday and parked in the city hall parkade and figured a 3 hour window will be sufficient (It was). Even though the time noted on the invitation was for 1:30, it wasn't until 2:30 that the ceremony actually started.

Greetings. We finally received our oath invitation today. We had applied in November of 2014, wrote the test August 4th and got the Oath invite for the October 28th ceremony at 1:30 PM at the Art Gallery of Alberta venue in Edmonton. Summary of our application's progress: Application received...

Thanks. They must have got wind of which way we were planning to vote ;)

@wes786, thanks. We got the physical notices in the mail yesterday and eCAS was updated this afternoon.
