check your qualifications with the CACB first. It’s a long and expensive process to tuen your foreign architect license into a Canadian one. 


Besides that, depending on where you’re coming from, local codes and prof practice laws will differ greatly. This not something you can just google.

Thanks Non, Can you share me your experience? Can you share me your experience in terms of working in Canada? Did you have a hard time in understanding Canadian Standards?

I’m not foreign to Canada since I was born here and completed both undergrad and grad schools here. I’ve know a few foreign trained professional and almost all of them end up taking a m.arch degree in order to meet minimum requirements to write exams. As for our standards, codes vary depending on which province you work in but generally, they are as strict and difficult to work with as any other developed country. At least we’re metric so that’s a plus.
