From May 20, 2024, the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) will issue educational credential assessments (ECAs) for architects immigrating to Canada. These ECAs verify the authenticity and Canadian equivalence of foreign degrees, diplomas, or certificates - a requirement for economic permanent residence. The ECA will be beneficial to both the Canadian architectural industry and the architects immigrating to Canada, as it will streamline the process and ensure that all architects practicing in Canada have been vetted for their education and skill level.
