Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of APEGBC.

Being an active Professional Engineer (P.Eng.), Engineer-In-Training (EIT), Professional Geoscientist or Geoscientist in Training (GIT) allows you to more easily gain membership with other Canadian Associations/Ordre.

Becoming a P.Eng., EIT, P.Geo. or GIT with APEGBC will not affect your membership in any other Associations/Ordre. You can be an active member in as many Associations/Ordre as you wish. However, you must pay the required annual dues for each Associations/Ordre you belong to. If you wish to resign from any Associations/Ordre, you will have to contact them directly to do so.

How do I apply?

Generally, for an Inter-Association Mobility Application, we require the following five items:

• A completed application form.

• A certified copy of your Canadian Citizenship (citizenship card, birth certificate or current Canadian passport) or Permanent Resident Status.

  To have a copy certified, make a photocopy of your document and ask a P.Eng., P.Geo., or Notary Public (other than yourself) to sign and stamp it as a "true copy of the original" document. 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, current Canadian Passport or Permanent Resident Status Card to APEGBC.

• An application processing fee. Please check the FEE SCHEDULE for the most current fees.

• A Confirmation Request Form filled out by all Associations/Ordre of which you are, or have ever been, a member. Please fill out the top portion of the form and fax it to the appropriate Associations/Ordre.  They will complete the form and return it directly to APEGBC.
• A completed Practice Declaration Form

How long will it take?

Once all your documents have been received, it normally takes APEGBC 1-2 weeks to review your application and grant registration. You will be then be sent a welcome package and a certificate.

Professional Engineers and Professional Geoscientists will also be issued a stamp.

How much will it cost?

Please check the FEE SCHEDULE for the most current fees.

There will be a one-time Inter-Association application fee, for the processing and assessment of your application. Once you are registered, you will be charged a one-time licensing fee, to cover the cost of issuing your licence. You will also be invoiced for your pro-rated annual fee.
