2021 APEGA Annual Report

APPLICATION PROCESSING TIMES We strive to eliminate registration obstacles and expedite our application process without compromising public safety. Our registration practices meet regulatory best practices and are aligned with the province’s foreign-qualification recognition framework. We invest time and resources to renew, develop, and improve our registration tools and processes.

After a successful trial, we fully implemented our new application tracking tool in 2021. It allows us to access and analyze detailed and current application data in near-real time. By closely tracking our performance on all files, we can proactively adjust our practices and procedures to meet government timelines.
