Ontario Board Requirements

Annual by December 31: You are required to submit your CPD Report by December 31 of every calendar year.

Annual by Original Date of Licensure:  You are required to renew your license annually based on the month of your initial registration.

A CPD activity will count if the learning activity addresses knowledge of the responsibilities of professional engineers, understanding of pertinent codes and standards, and knowledge of best practices in acts of professional engineering, all of which must be relevant to their practice areas.

Specifically, the CPD activity must meet these criteria:

• Must be aimed at helping the license holder maintain (or enhancing) their competence to practice professional engineering;
• Must have engineering learning content that is directly related to their engineering practice area(s);
• Must address technical or regulatory knowledge about acts of professional engineering; and
• Must not be their professional practice hours or their acts of professional engineering. 
   

The program will accept all learning formats since individuals learn in different ways and have unique personal circumstances. This means that even though an individual must choose admissible CPD activities, they may participate in activities in their preferred learning format. These include admissible activities that are free or paid, undertakings that are self-paced or instructor-led, sessions that are delivered virtually or in person or in a hybrid manner, as well as events that are held locally or overseas.

PDHs could be technical, ethical, managerial, or regulatory in nature.

You are not allowed to carry over any continuing knowledge hours for future years, building on the concept that professional development should take place on a continuing basis.
