Dear seniors,

I am preparing to write 2nd class Technical drawing exam. Can anyone here guide me which institute in canada prepare for this exam?
Also where can i get previous year transport canada examination papers ( EK Motor, EK General)
I am a 2 class engineer from India, and a landed immigrant in Canada, preparing to convert my license to Canada . I am not familiar with the colleges here. Your suggestions are highly appreciated and will be a great help. Thanks
Ajay.

Best thing I can suggest is to get hold of a drawing table, paper and instruments (T square, 45 and 60/30 set squares, compasses etc) and Reeds Engineering Drawing for Marine Engineers. Work through that then go challenge the exam. It's 6 hours, and is scheduled on Fridays.

Have you gone through the Direct Entry process with Ottawa?

SAIT in Calgary should have a technical drawing course of some kind. Your nearest TCMS office is in Edmonton for the exam. It's really just a matter of practice.

Does anyone did this exam recently? What size paper was used, which drawing tools were you using?

The standard drawing sheet is supplied, as are all the instruments. T Square, 2 set squares, 30/60 and 45/45, compasses, scale rules, pencils, erasers, pens, templates etc. You can bring your own, of course, you'll need a calculator anyway. (Or slide rule if you prefer) You have 6 hours on a Friday to do it.
