How Do I Move to Canada to Live and Work as a Geological engineer
Step 1: Determine you are eligible to immigrate
Taking our free visa assessment is the easiest way to do this. There are more than 80 ways to get into Canada with a visa. After you take your visa test, we'll be able to tell you which path is best for you based on your assessment.
Step 2: Have Your Qualifications Accredited for Canada
If you want to live and work as a geological engineer in Canada, you will need to make sure that the qualifications you earned outside of Canada are recognized there.
An Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) verifies that your degree, diploma, or certificate is valid and meets Canadian standards. This is important because it will let you claim the Permanent Residency points for your education and training, and it may also be needed for work, professional registration in Canada, and Canadian immigration services.
Here's a list of organizations that have been given permission to do your assessment:
- Comparative Education Service at the University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies;
- Canada's International Credential Assessment Service;
- Services for World Education;
- International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS);
- Evaluation Service for International Credentials.
Geological engineers need to have the following education and work experience:
- You must have a bachelor's degree in geological engineering or a related field.
- A master's or doctorate in engineering or a related field may be needed.
- To approve engineering drawings and reports and to work as a Professional Engineer, you need to be licensed by a provincial or territorial association of professional engineers.
- Engineers can get registered after they have graduated from an accredited program, worked as engineers for three or four years while being supervised, and passed a professional practice exam.
- During the evaluation process for Canadian Immigration, you might have to show a lot of paperwork and references to prove your skills and experience.
Step 3: Start the process of moving to Canada by applying for a Canada visa.
As a geological engineer, you can move to Canada in many ways. Here are the top 4 ways that will give you the best chance of being accepted:
- Express Entry system
- Provincial Nominee Program
- The Rural and Northern Immigration Program
- The Atlantic Immigration Pilot
1. Express Entry
Geological engineers who want to move to Canada should use the Express Entry (EE) system. Not only is it the fastest way to move to Canada, but it is also one of the easiest. If you are the right age, speak French and/or English, have the right qualifications, and meet other skills, you could move to Canada quickly. You could be on your way to Canada in 6 months.
Use the Canadian Comprehensive Ranking System to figure out how many Canada Immigration points you need for Express Entry. This is the first step in the Canadian Express Entry immigration process.
Some of the things for which CRS Points are given are:
- Age
- Qualifications
- English ability
- French ability
- Your partner’s skills
- Work experience

2. Provincial Nominee Program
Through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), skilled and semi-skilled immigrants can come to Canada and live and work there. Most ways to move to Canada require that you have a job offer for at least one year. There are 11 provinces and territories that have their own PNPs. Each of these has its own needs for workers.
If your skills match what the province or territory you want to move to is looking for, you may get a provincial nomination. This gives you 600 more Permanent Residency points, which means you're almost certain to get an offer for permanent residence in Canada.

3. The Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot
Geological engineers are in high demand, so you may be eligible to move to Canada through the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot Program. There are 11 communities taking part in the pilot program at the moment. To apply for permanent residency in Canada through the RNIP, you must have a valid job offer in one of the communities that are taking part.
4. The Atlantic Immigration Pilot
The Atlantic Immigration Pilot lets middle-skilled, high-skilled, and semi-skilled foreign workers move to Canada's Atlantic provinces. Geological engineers are in high demand in the 4 Atlantic provinces, so if you have a job offer for at least a year, you may be able to apply.
Step 4: apply for a job in Canada as a geological engineer.
As a highly skilled worker, you don't have to have a job to move to Canada, but having one will speed up the process. You can get between 50 and 200 PR points for a valid job offer, which will help with the immigration process. This moves you up in the list of candidates, since the more points you have, the more likely it is that you'll get an invitation in one of the many rounds of offers made by the Canada Visa System.
