Yes he can get a job. His he a PR of Canada? What country is his degree from?

It is hard to get a job offer anyway and even harder without any work experience. He can start trying to find an employer through some jobsearch websites. If he finds an employer who wants to hire him, they can try to get an LMO and a work permit for him and then he can work on getting the PR later.

Add to that the probability that he will have to write exams to qualify as an engineer in the province he chooses to live in. I am assuming that provincial regulations apply to engineers in the same way they apply to doctors.

Yes, I think it is likely. He could be hired as an assistant I think but a licensed engineer would have to check his work until he passes his exams.

You have to look here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp to see if you or your husband qualify to apply for PR. If you qualify on all counts, you can apply and you will get it. If you do not qualify, then no. For many of the programs, you can qualify if you have a job offer but those are hard to get.
