Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I am an Engineer in Training (EIT) with PEO. Am I eligible to apply for the iron ring obligation?

A: Being an EIT does not satisfy any of the eligibility criteria so you cannot apply with an EIT membership. However, you may be eligible based on Criteria 1 or Criteria 3.

 

Q: How does the new PEO standard of cancelling their EIT program impact my application and would I have to meet the experience requirement before I can apply for credential assessment with PEO?

A: No. In order to apply for the Iron Ring Ritual of the Calling of an Engineering, you do not need to meet the experience requirement, but you do need to have your credential academic assessment confirmed. PEO completes your evaluation to determine if the candidate meets the academic criteria (accredited by CEB of equivalent). Once an applicant receives a letter confirmation from PEO that they meet the academic criteria, candidates must submit their letter to apply for the Iron Ring Obligation Ceremony.

 

Q: I am a limited licence holder with PEO, am I eligible to apply for the iron ring obligation?

A: No, limited engineering licensee holders are not eligible to take the iron ring obligation.  It is the view of the Corporation of the Seven Wardens that the qualifications required for limited licences are not equivalent to those required by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB), and thus do not meet the corporation’s eligibility criteria as set out in the Guidelines for Eligibility.

 

Q: If a licensing and regulating body for professional engineering from a Canadian Province that is not Ontario verifies my academic requirements for licensure, do I meet the eligibility requirements?

A: Yes.

 

Q: Can someone else submit my application, on my behalf?

A: No. If you are interested in participating, you need to apply yourself to take the iron ring obligation.
