Hi,

I am asking on behalf of my friend. He is a civil engineer from Australia with many years of experience and now wants to work in Canada. To be registered as a P.Engineer of Canada, does he have to sit any exams? Or is the degree and experience between Australia and Canada is bilateral?

Simon,

Sir

I have B.SC in Civil Engineering degree from Bangladesh. Since last 4.5 years I'm working in Dubai with different construction company. Now I am planning to move canada with Quebec immigration process. Do you advise what is the requirement to work as Civil Engineer in Canada ?
Do I need to go for study? how long is it? or some ministry exam only.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Mahadi

A story to Share:
One of my cousins is a Civil Engineer from BUET. He worked in Roads & Highways of Bangladesh (Govt) for 2~3 years and was also involved in Jamuna Multi-purpose Bridge. Then he immigrated to Edmonton, AB in FSW category in 2000-01 period. As any other, he tried to seach for jobs but failed. He moved to Montreal, QC a year later and tried there as well. He "wasted" 2/3 years trying his luck. Then he did his Masters from Concordia University (Montreal). His first job in Canada was in Calgary, AB as a Project Manager. He worked there for a year and then came back to Toronto, ON for doing construction/development business. Now, he is working as a Senior Project Officer in Department of Transportation (Govt) in Yellowknife, NWT. He was also offered a good job in California, USA at the same time he got this Canadian offer.

Moral of the story is: Be prepared to do further/higher studies
&
Don't expect to get a job right after landing just becasue you've foreign experience
