Does anyone from big consultancies like Jacob's, Black & Veatch, Technip etc know if they support TN visa ( its basically a Visa for Canadians and Mexicans, although, not like H1B which requires sponsorship and lottery system, its merely a support letter from company and the applicant applies themselves at US port of entry and costs maybe $50) for power system roles like utilities, substation, renewable etc related roles with 4+ years of direct US based experience and a PE license?

Does anyone know if McD supports TN visa (for Canadians) for US roles and recently how is the hiring trend for electrical engineers with PE licensure?

I am planning to soon apply for TN VISA. Little about me before I ask my questions

1.Masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering from CANADA

2. Bachelor's in Electrical and Computer Engineer from OUTSIDE of Canada.

Compay Role: Its purely Electrical Engineering and completely aligns with my background and Education.

3. I also have P.E. License (Professional Engineer) (State License) from a U.S. State.

Questions:

1. I understand credential evaluation is not required for Canadian Education. However, my Bachelor's is not from Canada, would I still need to get it evaluated, or would my Master's be enough?

Additionally, since I already possess U.S. P.E. State license, can it be used as a proof for education ?

2. Any other advice ?

I recently passed my PE Power exam and planning to apply for licensure soon with NCBELS. I am bit confused with my application specifically related to the work experience requirement. I have Canadian Masters but Bachelor's is not Canadian. I will complete my 4 years experience next month. This is my second job in these 4 years. 1st Job I worked with a Canadian consultancy who had like a good local presence for projects and worked under a P.Eng which is equivalent of P.E. in US. I was laid off few days before completing my first year.

Had a 6 months gap after that looking for a new job and finally got one where I am currently working. Its a U.S. company with big presence internationally and specifically in Pennsylvania and the Carolinas. All of my work has been for US projects and worked under multiple PEs. Although I am based in Canada and the company has local offices here in Canada. I am completing 3 years here now.

For these 3 years I dont think I have any issues getting US PE referrals, however the main issue is that 1 year role. It wasn't PE person, although NCEES and NCBELS say only 3 PE are required. Its bit awkward to ask the previous supervisor reference (company i was laid off from). What are my options ?

Hi everyone,

I am preparing for my PE POWER exam. My exam is booked for June 20th and would be my first attempt. I started preparing from mid March this year. I am doing self study and mostly going through topics one by one in the order mentioned in the handbook. I am following a different approach this time unlike FE where I gave NCEES practice exam at the end of my prep. This time I am attempting questions relevant to the topics I studied for( for example, after completing all circuit sub-topics, I attempted all circuit questions from the ncees practice exam.. similarly for all the other topics as well). I completed my first gothrough of all topics and solved all NCEES 80QS. I kept track of all correct answers I solved and it came to around 60/80.

I have little under 2 months for my exams and I don't know what should I be doing now.

Any advice to keep practicing and what to practice and what to focus on?

Thanks
