本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛For foreign trained architect, such as Chinese architects, it is important for them to know CACB.
What's CACB?
Under the Canadian constitution, education and licensing for professional practice fall within the jurisdiction of each of the ten provinces and three territories. However, the desire for reciprocity has necessitated that mechanisms be developed to ensure comparable levels of education across the country.
The Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) was established in 1976 by agreement of the Registration Authorities and Councils of nine provincial institutes/associations to assess and certify the academic qualifications of individuals holding a professional degree/diploma in architecture who intended to apply for registration. The Order of Architects of Quebec joined the CACB in 1991. CACB's mandate was revised in 1991 to include the responsibility for accrediting professional degree programs in Canadian university schools of architecture.
Let's discuss how to get the certificate from it.
Prior to registration with any of the provincial associations of architects in Canada, applicants must have their academic qualifications certified by the CACB. Following certification of their academic qualifications, applicants are then required to complete the licensing requirements (including internship and exams) for the province in which they wish to register.
There are four ways to satisfy the Canadian Education Standard for admission to provincial architectural associations in Canada:
1. Accredited professional program
Applicants may qualify through graduation from a professional program of architectural education which has been accredited by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB), or by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), or an accrediting body recognized by the Board.

Most Chinese architects fall into this category:
2. Professional program not accredited by CACB
Applicants with a degree/diploma in architecture which is not accredited by the CACB or the NAAB can meet the Canadian Education Standard by obtaining CACB certification following a detailed evaluation of the individual's record.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Architects registered by a provincial association

4. Satisfaction of the Canadian Education Standard through the RAIC Syllabus of Studies
Applicants who have received a Diploma from the RAIC Syllabus of Studies Program may meet the Canadian Education Standard by obtaining CACB certification that they have completed requisite courses and guided studies.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
