The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA)

APEGA and similar organizations are important to have in any economy. Public safety is paramount and that's why they exist. Without such organizations engineering would be a practice that any hobbyist could join and contribute to. One may think this is ok, until a disaster occurs.Overall, it's an organization focused on public good and works on improving and standardizing the professional engineering careers and at the same time open for improvement and suggestions.On the downside, they are slow and take forever to process applications, etc. so they need to work on their internal processes to improve it more.

6 months has passed and my application is still stuck at Academic Review, I'm still puzzled as to why the review takes so long despite APEGA already requiring all applicants to have their international degrees certified by WES. A friend of mine got his academic record clearance from PEO within 2 months. It's ironic that as an engineer you are expected to be efficient, but the body regulating the engineering profession is not leading by example.

APEGA is a money grab. Nothing really ethical about this business scheme. They go after first year Engineering students and start brainwashing them into believing in this scheme so when they graduate, they will continue the cycle to feed these scumbags (CEO, president, president-elect and other members of the organization including councilors and board of directors). APEGA is the ultimate destruction to what a Free Market should look like. There's nothing Professional about APEGA. Their ethical exams is viewed ONLY in their direction. If you're not brainwashed enough, you're guaranteed not to pass their PE exam.Engineers who spent 4 years of hell with over 40 grand debt has to go through another hell APEGA" to actually get somewhere. But even then

Not helpful, Sad!

Don't even consider signing up for their wireless membership benefit. The price is not kept competitive and the worst service I've ever experienced. It is managed in-house and not through the carrier so you have to go through so many hoops just to get something changed. It is so frustrating!

They will do everything to make your life harder

Dear APEGA,You need to do better...absolutely 0 service and can't get a hold of anyone. Joke of an organization. I'd be embarrassed to work for APEGA.

They need to learn how to talk professionally" first of all. Secondly they keep on losing all the files. Wish they were a little bit more organized. I had to spend money twice and get the transcripts shipped internationally only because they lost my transcripts. And I know many more people who have similar complaints :("

Halloween bing

These people should wash the feet of Immigrant (Engineers) and drink it. Even then they will not get out of their shells. Such a disgrace.
