Is there a way for a US citizen residing in the US (and currently a PE in the US) to become a registered Professional Engineer in Ontario?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

If you don't have an ABET accredited degree, then it's a slightly longer road to licensing but it's still possible.
You should contact PEO (Professional Engineers Ontario) and have a chat with them.

1) You'll get a temporary, provisional license based on project need. It won't be a real, permanent license in the normal sense. It annoys me thoroughly when states do this to me (talkin' to YOU lone star state).
2) The provisional license will be very easy to obtain owing to your US qualifications and the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Might wanna get on that while there still is such a thing as NAFTA. I've been through this in a few provinces and states but not Ontario specifically.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

Despite NAFTA, Canada (or at least Ontario, as I have found) is still a bit of a protectionist State.

I am registered in both US and Canada (BC,AB,SK,MB and ON. You will fill out an application just like you did for any US state. They will require you take the PPE test minimum if all the other qualifications are there. The PPE test was one of the most maddening test I've ever taken. I did pass it the first time but the questions were so ambiguous and you had to pick the most accurate answer, several of them were like splitting hairs. A ridiculous test to say the least. I liked studying for the test but the test itself, not so much.
Best of luck
