I am a professional engineer registered with Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) who practices geoscience. Do I need to become licensed with APGO?
Under the Professional Geoscientists Act, 2000 an individual who is licensed as a professional engineer under the Professional Engineers Act and who is competent by virtue of training and experience, in accordance with the regulations made under the Act, to engage in practices that would constitute the practice of professional geoscience is not required to be registered with APGO. However if a professional engineer desires to practice as a professional geoscientist and use the title “P.Geo.”, he or she must be registered with APGO. Individuals who qualify may choose to hold both designations.
