I think they only assess your undergraduate degree when you apply for a PEng licence. PEO state on their website that they may waive confirmation exams if you have successfully completed Canadian post graduate studies in the same discipline as your undergraduate foreign degree.

If I understand correctly, if you are registered as an Engineer in Training (EIT) in one province, but working in another (or even abroad), your experience would still be credited toward your PEng when your supervisor validates it using the online reporting system. When you receive your PEng, you can transfer it to the other province.

IIRC on the online application, I was required to check a box confirming that I studied for my degree full time

Re: Moving to Canada working in power distribution
you don’t transfer but are allowed to obtain more than one based in gaining P.Eng, from another, I.e. hold 2. However I know of some cases where licensing authorities have declined to issue a license because the experience in the competence reports is all from outside that province/territory. I.e. trying to get a license in Alberta with no Alberta experience detailed in the competence report.
For the cases you mentioned when licence applications were declined, were the applicants informed that their experience was not being approved early during their training period, or were they only informed when they applied for their PEng after 4 years?
