Are you eligible to migrate to Canada as an engineer?

The eligibility of a candidate to migrate to Canada as an engineer is determined on the basis of five sets of conditions. They are– academic qualification, work experience, professionalism and ethics as well as character and language proficiency. As you might be aware, English and French are the two official languages of Canada. Depending on the territory or the province in which candidates apply for licensure, they need to demonstrate their competence in one of these languages.

International Graduate Engineers’ Program

The International Graduate Engineers’ Program of CanApprove aims to help engineering professionals with certain level of work experience to obtain Professional Engineer certification/Red Seal certification in Canada and migrate to the country. The Program is designed in such a way that the participants will enjoy the assistance of Canada immigration experts at every step of the application process, which will make the whole migration process smooth and hassle-free for them.

The support our clients enjoy at each step of the Canada migration process can be elaborated as below:

1.Preliminary assessment

Once you register under the International Graduate Engineer’s Program of CanApprove, details about your qualifications and work experience will be handed over to our relocation service team in Canada. This is for a preliminary assessment of your abilities.

2.Evaluation of education

Since you must have earned your engineering degree from outside Canada, the next step in the process is ICAP course-by-course credential evaluation by Credential Evaluation authorities. You must provide the relevant certificates and mark lists to assess your educational credentials. It is to be proved that your educational qualification is equivalent to at least a four year bachelor’s degree in Canada. If you haven’t already submitted the documents for the purpose, CanApprove will help with the process of getting your educational credentials evaluated.

We will assist you to prepare an application, get the final certification reviewed and register yourself with the provincial body of professional engineers.

We will help you with all the required documents including:

• Resume
• Credential Evaluation Assessment (Course by course)
• IELTS

The application will then be sent to the provincial body of professional Engineers (including several provinces). The provincial body will evaluate the credential assessment documents and application. We make sure that the applicant submits sufficient information to demonstrate that they have the necessary degrees of technical engineering job experience and engineering theory and science application. Subsequently, the candidate will receive a registration number from the provincial professional engineer’s organization.
