But the Fort McMurray Oilsands area is booming, and all of Alberta/Saskatchewan/Northern BC is a great place to look for work.

As a Canadian working in the USA, I am pretty sure the North American Trade Agreement allows engineer degrees to be recognized in both countries. I forget the name for the USA equivalent but them and the CEAB tend to keep the degrees relatively standardized. I remember one of my proffessors mentioning a meeting/conference about education standards with his American counterparts. I know the that ASME recognizes Canadian engineers. I think its only when degrees move away from science and business that there are issues with recognition. Plus with EIT, you are taking a test anyways so I guess that would prove if one is qualified.
