How to enroll in Professional Engineers Ontario EIT program:

For enrollment in the EIT program, you need to be an applicant for licensure, which means you have fulfilled the academic requirements of licensure (for example, graduated from a CEAB-recognized program). You can apply for licensure and enroll in the program right after graduating by filling up the Application for Licence and checking the appropriate box in the EIT program section of the application form.

From May 1, 2019, if applying for a license within six months of graduation, PEO will credit your license application fee and the cost of your 1^st year’s membership in the EIT program (if you enroll) towards the payment of your registration and initial P.Eng. license feels after you have been approved for a license. You should hire a Professional Engineers Ontario expert to know about this.

Before May 1, 2019, capable applicants had their application feel, and the first year of enrollment in the PEO EIT program was immediately waived.
