A new agreement between the United Kingdom and Canada will make it easier for architects to register and practice professionally in both countries. Signed by the UK’s Architects Registration Board (ARB) and the Regulatory Organizations of Architecture in Canada (ROAC), the mutual recognition agreement aims to streamline the registration process for eligible professionals.
Under the new agreement, which comes into effect on 14 May, architects already registered in either the UK or Canada will benefit from a faster and more efficient pathway to practice in the other country.
Registration with a national regulator is legally required in both countries to use the title “architect” and to practice architecture. The agreement recognizes the equivalent qualifications and professional standards upheld in the UK and Canada, making cross-border opportunities more accessible.
