License for foreign engineering graduates in Canada

[comatozed]

Hi,

I have two questions regarding foreign engineering degrees (obtained outside Canada) and their eligibility to work in Canada.

1. I have recently applied for the Express Entry program. I did my electrical engineering from Pakistan back in 2013 and then a masters in Control Systems from the United Kingdom in 2016. I want to know whether I would be required to take any exam in order to attain the status of a licensed engineer in Ontario.

2. Secondly, what's meant by engineer-in-training?

Thanks!

1 - Depends on the nature of the job. Some jobs may require you to get the PE (Professional Engineer) license from the Province.
2 - EIT or Engineer-in-Training is a step towards obtaining PE license.
