First - every non-Canadian engineering degree is compared to the Canadian version for course content, scholastic achievement, area of study/specialization, and 'standing' of the issuing school. If your degree meets or exceeds the Canadian criteria, you're over the first hurdle. If it doesn't you'll be required to complete some courses (perhaps as much as half of a regular degree program) in an engineering program at a recognized Canadian university.

Second - you will (probably) have to pursue licensing as a registered professional in the province where you'll be practicing. If you already have a professional licence elsewhere, it will be verified against the requirements for the province and you'll likely have to operate under the guidance of a registered professional for some period of time before making the application (and complete the examinations) to become registered yourself. If you do NOT have a licence to practice already, you're in the saem boat as Canadian graduates ... which means typically a four-year period under professional guidance in an engineering capacity and successful completion of the examinations.

Third - and most important - with Canada's visa requirements, you cannot simply 'enter the country and obtain a job'. A work visa is issued only when you can prove (by letter and degree qualification ... which means you or your prospective meployer has already done the homework for checking your degree/experience against the Canadian standard) that you already have an offer of employment from a Canadian firm and that THEY WILL SPONSOR YOUR IMMIGRATION.

If you don't have a job offer before you enter, you can only come as a student (which means study and be a tourist, but not work ... including LOOKING for work!) or as a tourist (whcih means no study OR work, including seeking work or course of study).

Not quite sure what you mean by adjust. That's kind of illegal to forge documents. Engineering companies do accept degrees from foreign universities.
