I notice Texas does have some stuff on their website about registration under NAFTA with Canada and Mexico.

If I recall correctly, there is no comity from CE to PE. Also, the comity agreement for PEng from Canada to PE in Texas expired already.
If you want a PE in the US, you have to go through the process like any other US PE candidate. Your education and experience will most likely be accepted by most state boards, but I think that also varies from state to state.

One other point that might not be real clear in some of the rules and literature: Normally, you get out of college, take the Fundamentals test, get an EIT certificate, work 4 years, and take the Principles & Practice test. However, if you already have qualifying experience, you don't have to have 4 years in between those tests. You can take them 6 months apart or whatever the minimum interval is to make sure you passed the first one.
I notice in you're in aeronautics. Be sure and read up on industry exemptions. A lot of aerospace type engineering work is exempt from registration requirements.

Of couse, I could be mistaken.
If you are interested in getting comity with Texas, you may wish to call their board.

If Texas reciprocates with another state, then you apply to that state with your Texas license.
Unless what he is saying is that Texas allow you to work in Texas with a Canadian PEng. I can't see that. But, you never know.

Now they require the test so perhaps the earlier comity was allowed.

If a state does not like your out of country work experience, education, references, etc. (or in country for that matter), then they do not have to let you be licensed in that state.

As for comity through your original PE- I never thought about this. My original PE is in TX, I took the tests for 2nd PE, and am now registered in 14 other states as well. I honestly couldn't tell you which state they are figuring comity with in the process, though. I would say it is the 2nd state.
I'm fairly sure you'd run into the same thing coming from Canada. If Texas didn't require you to take the tests, you'd probably have to for a license anywhere else.
