If you do not have an undergraduate degree in engineering from a program accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB), your academic background will be assessed by PEO to determine whether it is equivalent to the established standards. PEO will assign technical exams to give you an opportunity to confirm (Confirmatory Examination Program) that your academic preparation is equivalent or to remedy any identified deficiencies (Specific Examination Program).
How To Register
Log in to the PEO Portal, select “Fees” from the top menu bar and choose “Exam Registration” from the drop-down menu. The technical exams you need to write will be listed for you to select for registration. Payment must be completed online via credit credit.
Please note: If you plan to write an exam, inform the Exam Centre as soon as possible to ensure the exam(s) you plan to write will be made available, even if you register at a later date.
