Professional Technologist (P.Tech) is a Canadian professional title awarded on the basis of academic qualifications and work experience. Professional Technologists must be registered or licensed to work in engineering and technology related fields.

The title of P.Tech, is protected by provincial legislation. One cannot use the title or hold that one is a Professional Technologist unless so certified, by a provincial body associated with the Canadian Council of Technicians and Technologists. The Professional Technologist (P.Tech) designation is to more closely align with Professional Engineers who use the title (P.Eng).

Occupations

Technologists are capable of performing many functions, including those of a technician, draftsman, scientist, or project manager.
