CPD while in Canada

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
I have a dilemma. I may soon be forced legally to have CPD in Canada under my regulated Ontario Professional Engineers Licence or lose it.  CEng is not legally recognised in Canada and it looks like the CEng postnomial is heading the same way.  What do I do here? 30 hours of mandatory Canadian CPD as well as 30 hours of British CPD. Or are these credits globally recognised? Do I have to travel to Britain to do my CEng CPD courses and how applicable will these be? I would be interested to see how this has been thought through for international Engineers in the IET membership. If not, I cannot justify 60 hours of CPD every year. Is the IET then establishing cross agreements with other professional bodies around the world?

    Hi Gareth, as David has said there is no "International" differences in CPD, at least not for the IET.  I work in Switzerland and have been recording the same CPD with multiple organisations with no issue.  I'm not sure what the rules are in Canada but for the IET CPD does NOT have to be formal courses.  On-the-job learning/training, reading trade magazines, attendances at seminars (including online seminars/webinars) etc are all applicable.  So actually 30 hours of CPD is quite easy to complete, as long as you keep a track.

    Hope this helps.
