The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (Canada) (HKETO) welcomed the signing of an agreement between the Hong Kong Institute of Engineers (HKIE) and the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers (CCPE) to mutually recognize each other’s individual professional engineers.
The agreement was signed in May at the CCPE’s Annual General Meeting, held in Charlottetown, PEI. Representing the HKIE were the Institute’s President, Dr Alex Chan, and the Institute Secretary, Mrs Monica Yuen.
Under the agreement, members of the HKIE are eligible to become licensed engineers in Canada if they pass an examination or interview on local law and practice and demonstrate that they have obtained one year of experience equivalent to that obtained in Canada.
The HKETO Director, Mr Bassanio So, said, “It is an encouraging boost to the already close ties between Hong Kong and Canada, not only in economics and trade, but in also in the field of professionalism.”
