Awareness Campaign for Newcomers
All APEGA applicants, whether they are newly immigrated professionals or domestic applicants, must meet the same licensure requirements to practise engineering or geoscience in Alberta. However, APEGA recognizes that applicants with international qualifications and equivalencies may encounter additional complexities in demonstrating their competencies.
In October, we launched a campaign to help internationally trained applicants better understand the licensing process and to dispel some of the misconceptions about perceived barriers to entering the workforce. APEGA’s dedicated international qualifications officer, Enayat Aminzadah , helps internationally trained applicants navigate the licensure process and provides step-by-step support throughout. Learn more about internationally trained applicants on page 10 .
Did you know? More than 10 years ago, APEGA became the first Canadian engineering and geoscience regulator to designate an international qualifications officer to guide internationally trained applicants through the application process and help them understand the licensure requirements outlined in the Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act . As of 2024, there were two regulators in Canada with this position.
I take pride in my role helping internationally trained engineers and geoscientists go through the application process at APEGA.” – Enayat Aminzadah, international qualifications officer
