NOC 2131 Applicants (Civil Engineers) Network here

Good to hear from you, Ali. Be patient. All other factors being OK, you should receive the news of your DD being cashed shortly (DD encashment always lags behind CC charging by about a week). One thing is for sure, our NOC will not get capped this time.

Thanks.

Yup it will not cap this year.

Hi Guys,
I am a civil/structural engineer. I have been following the forum and thought it appropriate to break the silence too. My application was sent 24th Dec and received 30th Dec.
Pray and trust God that we all make cap limit.

I would also appreciate if you all could share any information gained/ research done about getting our licencing done by the provincial organizations like APEGGA, if and when we get to Canada. As far as I could gather, you can count 3 years of experience gained in your countries towards the requisite 4 years experience for getting the P.Eng licence. However that work has to have been performed under the supervision of a senior engineer (or a P.Eng). How it works in a country like India, where engineering is not a regulated profession, I don't quite know. Any insights would go a long way to helping the rest of us.

Hi Rahul,

I am a 43-year old French civil engineer with 18 years of experience in France. In this country, engineering is not a regulated profession. The "engineer" title is given by a diploma.
I succeeded being recognized by the Quebecian association of engineers (ordre des ingenieurs du Quebec = OIQ). I had to prove my diploma, my experiences (with references of my differents employers...). It lasted several months. Now, I am a "junior" engineer. I need to be supervised by a P.Eng. during several years (2 or 3 I don't remember) to become engineer.
I would like to emigrate in Ontario, where rules are different from Quebec province. I should do again my request.
(app.received on 12/31/2014, CC not charged yet).
Bye

Hi Lebeau,

Good to hear from you.
Did you get your diploma recognized by OIQ while in France itself, or did you work in Quebec for a while? What was the procedure involved in getting your education and experience recognized? Did you have to take any exams?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Rahul.

Hi Rahul,

My status of engineer was recognized by the OIQ when I was in France. I sent in Montreal a lot a files and a committee studied my appliance. The first time, it decided that it had not proofs enough for me to obtain the Jr Eng. status. Hence, I had to send proofs (recommendations for example). The examination is not free. I think that you can obtain information on web site of the Engineer Association (one association per province !).
Give every detail demanded, send them, pay, and be patient. You can do all that abroad (in your own country).
Sometimes, you are asked to pass exams (in the province you want to immigrate).
Good Luck.

Hey Aliakbar. you aren't charged yet? Did you check with your DD issuing bank often? Or try calling CIC and ask for application status, finally ask for UCI, you might get it..
