this page | Increasing Frustration with Mobility/Portability
APGO’s Mobility Subcommittee believes that practitioners need to push hard for change so that a P.Geo. registration in one province should apply as synchronous registration in all provinces - allowing for national practice across the country - and that all provincial regulations be fully harmonized into a single set of shared common national requirements and standards. The PDAC’s Geoscience Committee recently posted a position paper on mobility available through the following link. http://www.pdac.ca/pdac/advocacy/geosciences.html#Professional_Registration We strongly encourage members to familiarize themselves with this issue as the only way we see it being resolved is if practitioners support our efforts by making their wishes known to the governments and various provincial regulators. |

APGO’s Mobility Subcommittee is hearing from more and more practitioners from across Canada including British Columbia, Alberta, Northwest Territories/ Nunavut, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec that the current system of needing to deal with differing regulations and requirements in each province they work in, and the need to take out full registration in every province they practice in, is excessive and may not be in keeping with Canada’s Agreement on Internal Trade.
