Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announces the designation of the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) as the new body for issuing Educational Credential Assessments (ECAs) for architects seeking immigration to Canada.
Effective May 20, 2024, applicants intending to pursue economic permanent residence must obtain an ECA from CACB if their primary occupation falls under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) of Architects (code 21200). ECAs serve to validate the authenticity and equivalence of foreign credentials to Canadian standards, aiding in both immigration eligibility and licensing processes.
Detailed guidance on obtaining ECAs from CACB will be accessible online, facilitating informed decision-making for applicants.
