Ontario welcomes internationally trained applicants.

Our legislation, regulations, standards, training, etc. are all delivered in English. Without sufficient English skills it would be difficult to obtain the necessary knowledge required to successfully pass the requirements to become an Ontario Land Surveyor. If your degree/diploma was earned in another country, you must first apply to either the Comparative Education Service (CES) of the University of Toronto, or to World Education Services (WES) and request a “document by document” evaluation from one of these services to submit with your application to the AOLS. The WES website is https://www.wes.org/ca.

SEE WHAT YOU CAN APPLY FOR

The first step for all candidates for membership is to apply to the Association (to the Registrar) for a detailed evaluation of their post-secondary education and experience.
