About time.
I finally got it. Squee. I recognize that in the grand scheme of things this isn't particularly special. After all, there are thousands - if not tens of thousands - registered engineers in Alberta alone, and my job down here doesn't even require it. Still, it's nice to finally have.
Of course, now I've finally realized that there's a decent amount of bookkeeping just to maintain it (Continuing Professional Development forms). The upside of this is that they require me to actually attend conferences and classes and such - something that only happened on rare occasion while I was working in Canada, but has a slightly higher frequency of occurrence down here.
The other big pain in the ass is registering down here. If I was working in, say, Saskatchewan, it would pretty much just be a matter of contacting APEGGS with my APEGGA information and paying a fee. Not so down here. The process is a little more complicated, as in they might not even view my degree as having come from an accredited institution. It might also involve me having to, in essence, rewrite every final exam from my last year of university. Somehow I don't think that will happen.
Oh well. Yay me.

Glad to hear you got yours.... I'm still waiting for my letter in the mail.
Seriously? He was that late getting your reference in?
APEGGA had their meeting at the end of February, so I'd like to think that you'll get yours any day now.
That's what my contact at APEGGA said.... meeting in Feb and I would get a letter in March. Hopefully it's a letter saying "Congrats" and not "we need another year because you changed fields".
But yes, he was that late getting it in.... and that was the second time I got a letter from APEGGA telling me they were waiting for his reference.
Congratulations! Have you stamped every piece of paper in your house yet? :)
I would have if they had sent me a stamp. I still have to order one before I can misuse it.
