Canadian · Professional Licensing
Verify a P.Eng in Canada.
Engineers and geoscientists are licensed by provincial regulators, each with its own public register. Choose a province and this page sends you to the right official register. It does not search registers itself.
Short answer: there is no single national lookup here. Check the register of the regulator in the province where the engineer is licensed.

Why this matters: a title on a business card, a stamp image or a LinkedIn profile is easy to copy. APEGA, for one, reports impersonation scams and unauthorized use of stamp images. Always confirm in the register, and read the status as well as the name. See the P.Eng vs EIT and stamp guide.

Frequently asked questions
How do I verify a P.Eng in Canada?
Engineering is regulated by province, so use the register of the regulator in the province where the engineer is licensed. Pick the province above and open its official register.
Is there one national engineer licence database in Canada?
This page does not rely on one. It links to each provincial regulator’s own public register, which is where licence status is kept.
What if the engineer works in a province not listed here?
This page covers nine regulators. For another province or a territory, use that regulator’s own website; do not rely on a business card, a stamp image or a LinkedIn title.
Can a website tell me if an engineer is licensed?
Only the regulator’s register can. This page does not search registers or store anything you type; it only chooses the right link.
Finder only — not a verification tool
This page is a guide to a public register run by the regulator. It does not look up, scrape, store or transmit anyone’s details, and it cannot confirm a licence on its own. Only the regulator’s register, or the regulator itself, can tell you whether someone is currently licensed.
