PEO and COVID-19
In light of concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for social distancing, PEO is no longer directly accepting incoming mail deliveries. Deliveries are being received and securely held onsite by PEO’s property manager.
Applications for licences and certificates of authorization will not be accepted by mail until further notice. Please note that applications cannot be sent to PEO electronically at this time.
Members and applicants are advised not to mail cheques to PEO until further notice. Payment of fees and dues, as well as payments for renewals of certificates of authorization, can be made online. All fees and dues continue to be payable.
PEO staff remain available to respond by phone and email to all inquiries, including those related to the application process.
Please check our website regularly for further updates: https://www.peo.on.ca/latest-news/peo-covid-19
P.Eng. licence holders who have allowed their licence to lapse are invited to follow one of the following courses of action, depending on the time that has elapsed since PEO cancelled their licence. The cancellation date that applies to you is stated on the cancellation letter you received from PEO. Please note that the cancellation date is neither the date when your previous licence was scheduled to expire (i.e. renewal date), nor the date when you might have advised PEO to cancel your licence.
