Labour Mobility: for Those Already Registered in Another Canadian Jurisdiction

If you are already registered as a professional geoscientist in another Canadian jurisdiction, your application to PGO is governed by the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA).

There are two pathways for registration:

Pathway 1

Apply for registration in Ontario through the standard labour mobility application

How do I apply?
How long does it take?
How much will it cost?
Internal review or appeal process
Pathway 2

Apply for registration in Ontario through the Deemed Certification, or As of Right application

How do I apply?
How long does it take?
How much will it cost?
Internal review or appeal process

PGO will provide a registration decision for all complete Canadian Professional Geoscientist mobility applications within 10 days of receipt of a completed application. This exceeds the requirements of Ontario’s “Deemed Certification” legislation under the Ontario Labour Mobility Act

For more information about applying to PGO, please review the Guidelines to Registration.
