Can I perform geoscience work while my application is being processed?
Yes. During the Transition Period and until August 30, 2002, the date proclaimed for Section 3 of the Professional Geoscientists Act, 2000 to be in force, an applicant may continue to carry out geoscience work. However, after the August 30, 2002, any person performing geoscience work will be in contravention of the Professional Geoscientists Act, 2000 if they use the title “professional geoscientist” or the designation “P.Geo.” in Ontario, or if an individual represents in Ontario that he or she is a professional geoscientist, unless they are a member of APGO. Enforcement of the provisions of the Act is a legal requirement for APGO. Under the Act, exemptions have been provided for a professional engineer who is both competent and qualified to undertake activities which constitute the practice of professional geoscience or a land surveyor or a land information professional whose practice is confined to managing geographic information. A prospector is not required to be a member of APGO
