APEGS Canada reinstatement professional member process applies to a Professional Engineer, Professional Geoscientist, Engineering Licensee or Geoscience Licensee who were former APEGS members.
Reinstatement process:
- If applying for reinstatement in the same year that your APEGS Canada membership has ended, you are not required to submit a new application. If you resigned your membership before it expired, you don’t need to pay a reinstatement fee. If your membership ended because you don’t pay your annual registration fees by the due date (January 31st of the year), pay a reinstatement fee, as well as the full annual registration fees to reinstate your membership.
Send a mail using the official APEGS Canada Contact Us page and indicate that you want to reinstate your membership.
An invoice will be posted to your online profile for yearly registration fees.
When you have paid the annual registration fees, you will get a certificate in the mail and an electronic image of your seal by mail. If ordered a physical stamp, it will be delivered within a few months (it may take slightly longer if you are outside of Canada).
After having paid your annual fees, you can use the appropriate title.
The certificate may take several months to reach you. You don’t need your certificate to start using one of the protected titles.
- If your registration ended in a previous year, but less than two years ago, apply for reinstatement and pay any applicable fees. Your qualifications will not be assessed again.
