Reinstatement (EIT)

Temporary Pause on Online Applications

Engineers Nova Scotia is currently not accepting new online applications.

Due to a high volume of submissions and the ongoing migration to our new registration system, we have temporarily suspended the intake of new applications. This pause will allow our registration team to focus on processing and migrating existing applications efficiently.


We appreciate your patience and understanding during this transition. If you have already submitted an application, please allow up to 15 business days for a response. Our team is working diligently to ensure all open applications are reviewed and processed.

 

Please Note: Registration staff will not be responding to inquiries regarding status of already submitted applications as we focus our work to prioritize those applications, should we require additional information from an applicant, we will reach out accordingly. 

For further updates, please check back at later date.
