Regulating the practice of professional engineering and governing licence holders in Ontario in the public interest
Professional Engineers Ontario licenses Ontario’s 73,000 professional engineers, grants temporary, limited and provisional licences to practise professional engineering, and authorizes businesses to provide engineering services to the public. It sets standards for and regulates engineering practice. Under the Professional Engineers Act, its statutory mandate is to serve and protect the public interest where engineering is concerned. Rigorously educated, experienced and committed to a Code of Ethics that puts the public first, licensed professional engineers can be identified by the P.Eng. after their names. Limited engineering licensees can be identified by the LEL after their names.
Effective January 1, 2010, PEO is open for business at its new building at
40 Sheppard Avenue West, Suite 101, Toronto ON M2N 6K9. Telephone and fax numbers and email addresses remain the same.
2010 PEO Council Elections Candidate statements and other information is now available. Ballots will be mailed to professional engineers by January 29, 2010 and must be returned to the Official Elections Agent by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on March 5, 2010.
“Additional Requirements–Ontario Labour Mobility Act
On December 9, 2009, the Ontario government passed the Ontario Labour Mobility Act, 2009, intended to enable certified or licensed workers to practise their occupations in any province. The act requires that licensing bodies, like PEO, publish on their websites every requirement for licensure they impose on applicants who are already licensed to practise that profession in another province.
