Reciprocity
Inter-Recognition Agreement (Canada/USA)

The Inter-Recognition Agreement Between the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) and the Committee of Canadian Architectural Councils (CCAC) was signed on July 1, 1994.

In accordance with the Agreement, applicants who have obtained NCARB Certification will be granted registration to practice architecture in the participating jurisdictions in the USA, without any further demonstration of qualifications, other than familiarity with local laws, conditions, and practice requirements. 

The Agreement applies only to those architects who have obtained NCARB Certification and whose principal place of practice is located within a jurisdiction that is a participant to the Agreement.
