Professional Engineers Ontario PEO governs over 85,000 licence and certificate holders and regulates professional engineering in Ontario to serve and protect the public.

Established on June 14, 1922, Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) is the licensing and regulating body for professional engineering in the province. It operates under the authority of the Professional Engineers Act to serve and protect the public interest by setting and upholding high academic, experience and professional practice standards for the engineering profession. Individuals licensed by PEO are the only people permitted by law to undertake and assume responsibility for engineering work in Ontario. PEO is governed by a Council of elected professional engineers and government appointees comprising both professional engineers and non-engineers.

PEO evaluates engineering experience using a competency-based assessment (CBA) system to ensure a fair, transparent, objective and consistent process for all applicants.

In this video, learn about the roles of applicants, validators and qualification assessors in the CBA process. You'll learn what information applicants must provide, how validators verify engineering experience and how qualification assessors review applications and make recommendations on readiness for licensure.

Beginning in January 2027, PEO will introduce significant changes to its mandatory Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program.

Key changes include:
• renaming the Practice Evaluation and Knowledge (PEAK) program to the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program.
• replacing the Practice Evaluation with a new Learning Plan
• replacing the CPD Report with a Learning Activity Report
• introducing a standard annual requirement of 12 CPD hours
• expanding learning opportunities through broader competency categories
• establishing a single annual deadline for all CPD requirements

The renewed program is designed to provide greater flexibility, clearer expectations, and a more practical approach to continuing professional development while supporting PEO's mandate to protect the public.
