Without any Canadian work experience you can't get a P.Eng in Canada. I think you need at least 1 year of Canadian experience under a P.Eng on top of your international experience (not sure how many years you need of that). Without an engineering degree getting your P.Eng is tough. I should...
Hi,
I have a 3phase 208V 15KVA ups rated for 0.8 p.f. This is an older unit (1994) and the manfacturer was bought out by another company and I am unable to get any support on it.
Does this rating mean I can supply a 0.8 PF load up to 15KVA and a 1.0 PF load up to 12KW? I'm assuming that the...
I'm working on a project in Canada so I am following the CEC guidelines. One of the plants processes that was non-hazardous has been modified and now the area is classified as Class I Zone 2. I have Nema 4X junction boxes containing terminal blocks. According to CEC 18-156(1)(7) boxes, fittings...
Doing work in Electrical power, controls and instrumentation is completely different than working as an IC designer. I guess I should have been a little more clear on what the job in hi-tech is. Taking this new job would mean leaving my current field not just my current job.
I spoke with a...

I posted on this board several months ago and received some good advice. Thought I would give it a try again.
I am currently working as an EE in a plant. My duties involve:
-Control system upgrading/modification. This involves some PLC programming, designing control schematics using ACAD...
Hey guys,
Well out of nowhere I just got a call from a contact of mine and was offered a job. It's electrical power related. I'm glad it's in this field because I find it interesting and I don't need to worry about my job being outsourced to India. I have zero experience in this area and the...
There might be groups in your area that help immigrant engineers find work. Talk to your local engineering association. I know they have assocations in Canada that are tailored towards immigrant engineers. These groups would most likely have been started by engineers like yourself that were...
49078, I have good experience and excellent references but the supply for my skills far outweighs the demand right now. Why hire a new grad for 40k a year when you can get a guy with 2-3 years experience for the same price? This is what I have been told by recruiters in the field. I could have...
Thanks for the help guys. The advice is much appreciated.
Right now I am trying to get some more info from the grad schools I applied too. I would like to know exactly why I didn't get in. So far all I've gotten is that there were many excellent candidates and basically I wasn't good enough to...
I live in Canada and I'm finding it extremely difficult to find an Engineering position. I graduated 2 years ago with a B.Eng and have had 2 short term contracts in that time, that didn't lead anywhere. I've been unemployed for over a year now and things are not getting any better. My field of...
