Reinstatement & Reversion of Membership Status

Overview

A member who has resigned from APEGM may reinstate as a full practicing member under certain conditions. The process by which a member reinstates is dependent on many factors including whether or not he or she resigned in good standing (i.e. with notice), whether or not he or she is currently registered in another Canadian association, and whether or not he or she has been doing supervised engineering work in Manitoba or in another province and for how long.

A member who has retired from APEGM or has gone on deferred dues, may revert to full practicing member status again, under conditions as outlined in the Manual of Admissions (tabular summary). It is important that you read these carefully. Depending on the type of Reinstatement or Reversion, your file may have to be reviewed by the Registration Committee.

For those who are planning to retire, resign, or conversely reinstate, or revert their status:

1. It is strongly advised that you maintain your current membership in at least ONE Canadian association - whether it be APEGM or elsewhere. This will make the process considerably easier if later you wish to reinstate your membership. All the provinces follow the inter-association mobility agreement and while some associations have residency and citizenship requirements, APEGM does not.
   
   
2. Watch your time limits! For example, if you retire, then later wish to return to full practicing status, this is most easily done within four years of going on retired status (according to the current manual).
   
   
3. If you plan to resign from APEGM, you MUST notify us in writing - by email, fax, or letter. Resignation without notice results in de-registration, which has consequences if you later decide to reapply.
   
   
4. APEGM periodically has policy and procedure changes that are published in the Keystone. If you are changing status or reinstating, you are subject to the current rules in effect, unless otherwise indicated in the policy.
