SR&ED Engineering is the practice of designing, composing, evaluating, advising, reporting, directing, or supervising the construction or manufacturing of tangible products, assemblies, systems, or processes that requires in-depth knowledge of engineering science and the proper, safe, and economic application of engineering principles. By definition, and according to sound professional practice, engineering practice does not involve scientific or technological uncertainty and is thus not eligible on its own. However, engineering work that is commensurate with the needs and directly in support of basic research, applied research or experimental development is eligible.The recession is over and a slow recovery has started. Major labour shortages will continue given the current levels of immigration and post secondary enrollments. During a recovery period from 2010 to 2012 both these factors will encourage economic growth. The Statistics Canada Census counted 85,000 engineers working in Ontario 2006 and current estimates for 2009 reach 87,000. A modest expansion is anticipated from 2013 to 2018 as trend rates of growth hover around 2%. General economic growth is lower than in the past due to slower population growth and the related limits to the labour force. Labour markets will reflect these demographic trends through very low unemployment rates and ongoing recruiting challenges. Higher immigration is the key to economic growth and net immigration rises to record levels across the coming decade.
