Application For Membership

General Information

The guidelines and requirements for membership are set out in the Engineering Profession Act, Regulations, Bylaws and Code of Ethics. Applications for membership in the Association of Professional Engineers of Yukon (APEY) processed the quickest would be from an applicant who is already registered in good standing as an Engineer with another provincial/territorial association. The minimum requirements for licensing in Yukon are that applicants have a degree in engineering from an accredited University (or have written assigned technical exams), and that they have at least four years of acceptable experience (minimum one year in Canada) working under a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) who will verify their experience. Applications are processed and presented to the Board of Examiners for their meetings on the second Tuesday of every month.

To become licensed as a Professional Member you must have the following requirements:

Post-secondary education: An undergraduate degree from a recognized accredited engineering program or equivalent is required.
Experience: To become a member, you will require four years on-the-job work experience under the supervision of a licensed professional, including at least one year of equivalent Canadian experience.
Character: You must be of good character and reputation. Good character connotes moral and ethical strength and includes integrity, candor, honesty and trustworthiness. Character is what a person is, while reputation is what others believe that person to be. All APEY members are held accountable to the Code of Ethics that governs the way an individual practices their profession.
Knowledge of Law and Ethics: You must demonstrate knowledge of law, professionalism, and ethics. This may be accomplished by passing the National Professional Practice Examination (NPPE).
English Language Competency: You must be competent in the English Language and must be able to effectively communicate at an effective level.
