If your CPD requirements were assigned in November 2025, they will become enforceable starting November 1, 2026. CPD requirements for all licensed professionals become enforceable one year after they are first assigned. If your annual renewal is in August, the new CPD requirements will be assigned to you on August 1, 2026, in the myAPEGA portal.
Not sure what this looks like for you? Come to the next CPD question and answer session on September 10. |

|  | Application Process Changes for Future Professional Engineers and Geoscientists | When applying for their license with APEGA, engineering and geoscience applicants now use an updated competency-based assessment process that allows applicants to demonstrate Canadian work environment equivalencies directly in the application process, removing the need to have one year of Canadian work experience. This approach supports a nationally consistent method for evaluating Canadian and international professional experience and allows new applicants to practise more quickly.
