Temporary Licensure is available to applicants who meet the following criteria:
Typically people who go through temporary licensure are those who are interested in doing a 'one-of' project for an engineering company located within Manitoba.
If you have graduated from a Washington Accord (ABET) accredited Engineering program, and have passed the FP and PE exams in the U.S.A., and have completed four years of approved engineering experience, then you should apply for IAMA Registration (mobility) instead of temporary licensure.
Temporary licenses are more expensive than full membership registration and must be renewed every year. Once every three years, the temporary licensee must re-write the PPT. Those who are temporary license members are not issued a seal from APEGM, but are required to use the seal which they would have obtained from the State Board in which they are registered.
See the Act and By-laws for more information on temporary licensure.
The Temporary Licensure process is illustrated in the Temporary Licensure process flowchart.
With your application you must submit:
The application for temporary license, as with all applications to APEGM, will be reviewed by the Registration Committee who meet once per month usually near the end of the month. Completed documentation must arrive approximately two weeks prior to the meeting at which your file would be considered.
Temporary licenses are granted on a yearly basis, and expire one year from their issuance. If you wish to renew you must repeat the application process. After three years of temporary license renewals, a new PPT must also be passed.
Applicants who subsequently become registered with other Canadian associations, are advised to change their membership category to full membership by going through the Inter-Association Mobility Agreement (IAMA) process.
Temporary licensees who subsequently relocate to Manitoba, who are not currently registered with another Canadian association should start their registration process by applying for an Academic Assessment.
Like full members, temporary licensees may act as responsible members for the purpose of obtaining a company Certificate of Authorization (CofA).
The Registration Coordinator is responsible for receiving temporary licensee and other applications, applications for Certificates of Authorization and serving as secretariat for the Registration Committee.
