Professional Engineers Ontario

Nobody picks up the phone, not even the receptionist. You have to leave a message to get a call back. Even the transfers are email based. If you insist on speaking to a person you get transfered to the persons answering machine. At the end the person does not return your phone message nor your email. Very unprofessional and very disappointing.

I have some concerns about the effectiveness of this license. I've noticed that there are some engineers in the market who may not have the necessary skills or expertise to design and calculate effectively. As a result, there may be some confusion or challenges in the market. And the quality of PEO staff should be greatly improved.

PEO provide inaccurate info on their website.Experience is rated unclearly and unfairly. Their ERC interview is held by panel members who are old and outdated and know very little about the state of the art in engineering.Processing time of the licence is terribly long. No accountability. Not representing engineers at all.

Unprofessional Engineers of Ontario. Wait until you apply for the technical interview, where interviewers (college professors who only knew math) were afraid of you showing your technical experiences, who were rude after they turn off the camera after the interview. Lots of red tapes in your application process.

The PEO is like a fortress against customer support.They created a 2 tiered security system and all tests, payments must go through their system. When engineers cannot log into their system and ask for support you continuously get the same automatically generated steps to take to login.Ultimately, the recourse is to drive hours to their headquarters to try and get technical support. Only to find out most of the staff works from home.The only good thing was the receptionist who tried to help. Messages were sent to the technical manager and she didn't have the courtesy to respond or have one of her staff respond.In the meantime you're getting emails from PEO stating that if you don't take their test via their portal or make a membership payment via portal you will be suspended.This necessitated another long drive to demand technical supportThe only reason we gave a two rating was the help we got from the receptionist

Don't waste your time going to PEO office on Sheppard avenue. There's no one there to answer your question except a security that tells you to visit PEO website for all PENG related questions.You should complete all the process (including submitting your documents) online.

The might be professionals and try to get things done professionally, however, they lack the attitude and according to my situation and so many new comers it looks like they are trying to make as much profit from every individual as possible through exams, membership and registration fees

Very unresponsive, no one takes calls, poor coverage for inquiries, no support for new programs like PEAK - for the fees paid, should be able to actually speak to someone. Need to provide support! There is always an 'unanticipated workload delaying responses' . So... anticipate it!

This organization is more of a burden on engineers, what does it offer for engineers ? Absolutely nothing.On the other hand, too many useless emails, annual fees, and now cpd which comes with its own hidden cost.And try to call them : best wishes , no one will ever pick up your call or return your call.
