You don't need a transit visa for the UK if you are transferring within one airport. Probably the same for Europe. No idea for the US.
Can't help with the other questions.

Re 2) google or use expedia etc
3) are you visiting or working? You won't be allowed into the country unless you are visa exempt or have some form of visa. You need to be very careful if your intention is to work and you don't have a work permit
I do not believe you need a p eng test

If you require a visa to visit the US as a tourist then you require a transit visa to transit through there on your way to Canada.

1. Transit options depend on the passport you hold and if there are any exemptions by the country you are transiting in...you are effectively asking how long is a piece of string...it depends. For the UK those Canadian PRs requiring transit visas would normally get a waiver if they had a valid PR Card. The UK also gives a waiver where you hold a valid visa for entry to Canada which presumably is what you have - are you travelling to Canada to land as a PR? Note the UK waivers are discretionary so if the border official doesn't like your story you will get bounced.

2. The US requires you to hold a transit visa unless you are a national that can use the Visa Waiver Program (subject to other criteria) or are exempt from Visa requirements - Google is your friend type CBP.

Hint don't go via the US (the customs clearing process can easily make you miss your onward flights) and avoid the UK if possible...try one of the main Continental European hubs such as Amsterdam.

3. Engineering is a regulated profession in Canada...to practice as an Engineer you need to be licensed..however you can work under the supervision of a PEng. You may do the work but the PEng carries the responsibility so if they value their PEng they check your work prior to any formal approval often indicated by endorsing their personal stamp on any drawings, reports etc. You get more pay as a PEng so most immigrants in the engineering profession aspire for this. Check the Provincial Engineering body for requirements.
