Jalis:

First of all, you will need to contact the governing body in the province, i.e. in Alberta, it is APEGGA, Ontario is PEO, etc.

I don't know for sure, but I am almost positive you will have to challenge as I don't believe that you can get full credit for your education.  Don't ask me why, but that is the way it is done.

Hope this helps.

RE: P. Engineering, Canada / Canadian Experience

I had some friends in school who were from Pakistan and Lebanon.  They provinvial association (APEGGA in this case) would not give them full credit for their undergraduate work.  What they did is enroll at the University of Alberta for their Masters of Engineering (M.Eng) program.  It's an 18-month program that is project-based, not thesis-based.  After their master's degree, APEGGA said they were eligible, plus gave them 12 months of work experience 'credit' towards their P.Eng.
