In order to apply for registration as a GIT you must provide the following documents:

Application form

Download an application form.

When you sign the application form you will also be signing a declaration that you have reviewed the Engineers & Geoscientists Act.

Proof of Canadian Citizenship or Permanent Resident Status

You need to provide a certified copy of your Canadian Citizenship (citizenship card, birth certificate or current Canadian passport) or Permanent Resident Status. NRL Applicants need to provide a ceritified copy of their citizenship document (current passport or birth certificate).

To have a copy certified, ask a P.Eng., P.Geo. or Notary Public to make a photocopy of your document and sign and stamp it as a "true copy of the original". Alternatively, you may bring your original document to the APEGBC office and we can make a certified copy for you at no cost.

Please do not send your original citizenship card, birth certificate, passport, or Permanent Resident status document to APEGBC.

Transcripts

A transcript is a document that lists all of the courses that you took and the grades that you received at your university/college/or other academic institute.  A transcript also usually states the name of your degree or diploma and the date on which it was granted.

You must ask your academic institute to send your transcripts directly to APEGBC.   If your academic institute is not able to send us your transcripts you must write a letter to APEGBC explaining your situation.   The letter should state how you have tried to get the transcripts and request that certified copies of the original transcripts already in your possession be accepted.  Universities can almost always send us your transcript.

When all required documents have been received, your academic qualifications will be assessed and you may be assigned academic examinations.

Course Descriptions

Please submit course descriptions/course calendar for each of your academic geoscience-related classes. This can be sent to us directly from your university with your official transcripts, or we can accept a certified copy of course descriptions already in your possession.

The course descriptions will be used by APEGBC for your academic assessment.

Self-Assessment Checklist

Please review the APEGBC geoscience checklists and syllabi, and select the checklist that most closely corresponds with your academic studies.

Application Fee

Please check the FEE SCHEDULE for the most current fees.

This application fee may be waived if you have graduated from an approved graduate or undergraduate program within the past 12 months.
