In their own words
Talent and Immigration- The Association of Consulting Engineering Companies - Canada is advocating for a review of immigration policies and processes to facilitate the global recruitment of specialized roles by consulting engineering firms that support innovation and infrastructure project delivery, as experienced engineers and technical specialists are critical for the delivery of complex projects. Additionally, delays in work permit processing for foreign students graduating from Canadian engineering programs and restrictions on Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) eligibility is limiting graduates. Additionally, caps on international students is impacting programs of engineering faculties and the capacity of the future talent pipeline.
Infrastructure: The Association of Consulting Engineering Companies - Canada is advocating that a long-term sustainable infrastructure programs be created to provide better value to taxpayers. In particular, funding for Communities and Infrastructure, Defence Construction Canada and Public Works and Government Services Canada are of interest. ACEC is also interested in the investment, delivery and renewal of Crown-owned infrastructure and real property assets.
International Trade - ensure that international trade agreements respect engineering services as a professional service, rather than a commodity.
