Thanks for the information.
Just answered the survey.
At the end of the survey, It did not tell me anything about the $10 token honarium or if they will be mailing it. It just asked me if I was willing to talk further about work place discrimination and I said yes. It asked my address and phone number (which I gave) and that was it. Did I just waste 30 minutes.

Peace

I think all Engineers who meet the required criteria should participate in this survey. It gives us a chance to voice our opinion and bring a change.

More foreign trained engineers can now participate in the study!

The eligibility criteria for the study has been increased to include those who foreign trained engineers who have been in Canada less than 10 years (instead of less than five years) and who are thinking of or have applied for lisencing as a professional engineer.
