9MEMBERSHIP REFERENCE FORM
SATISFACTORY GEOSCIENCE EXPERIENCE
Confirmation
Referees are asked to provide a confirmation of and support for the applicant’s experience and to comment
on other professional and personal attributes. However, a referee is not considered to be sponsoring the
applicant for membership in the Association. The applicant is solely responsible for the accuracy and validity
of the information provided on the Work Experience Record.
Referees
The criteria listed below are to provide guidance to applicants, employers and supervisors and referees with
respect to the level of experience expected of an applicant applying for professional registration or
licensure with APGO.
References are requested from practicing professional geoscientists or other professionals familiar with
details of the applicant’s work. Present and past direct supervisors and colleagues are often the most
suitable referees. If an applicant claims experience from several positions, additional references may be
required by the Registration Committee of the Association.
All applicants are required to have a minimum of three (3) referees. Each should be a professional
geoscientist or an equivalent with first-hand knowledge of the applicant’s work. At least two of the referees
should have directly supervised the applicant and at least one professional geoscientist familiar with the
applicant’s work from outside his or her immediate company or organization should be nominated if
possible. If experience gained outside Canada is to be verified, additional referees may be required. During
the Transition Period and until June 30, 2002, a geoscientist who has applied for membership with APGO
may act as a referee for other applicants.
Professional geoscientists with indirect knowledge of the applicant’s work may be nominated only if
absolutely necessary. A separate letter is required to explain the circumstances if the applicant cannot
nominate the required referees. Please refer to the Guideline to Registration for more information.
Criteria for Acceptable Experience
The five (5) major criteria for determination of what constitutes qualifying work experience are set out in
the Registration Regulation (O. Reg. 59/01amended to O. Reg. 378/01, s. 9.3 (1)). It is required that the
applicant has met some aspects within each of the major criteria.
