What is a key requirement for obtaining a Temporary License?

A key requirement for obtaining a Temporary License is the possession of a Full License from another jurisdiction. This requirement recognizes the qualifications and competencies of engineers who are already licensed in other regions and allows them to work legally in Ontario while they complete any additional requirements for permanent licensure. Such an approach fosters professional mobility and acknowledges the standards upheld in other jurisdictions, ensuring that engineers can contribute to the workforce without undue delay, while also adhering to the regulatory framework set forth by the Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO).

The other options do not accurately reflect the requirements for obtaining a Temporary License. A minimum of 10 years of experience is not a standard prerequisite; instead, the focus is on the existing licensure in another jurisdiction. Similarly, completion of specific PEO exams is part of the process for a full license, not a temporary one. Lastly, demonstrating previous work in Canada is not a requirement for the Temporary License, as it is aimed at professionals already recognized in other areas.
