Are you an architect looking for a Canada PR from India?
If you are an
architect in India looking to obtain a Permanent Residency (PR) in Canada,
then it is important news for you. You should read this article carefully
before applying for a Canada PR visa.
On 22 May 2024, A new professional organization was approved by
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to provide educational
credential assessments (ECAs) to architects who wish to immigrate to Canada.
The need for ECA for Canada PR
Applications for programs leading to economic permanent residence in Canada
must show that their acquired international degrees, diplomas, or certificates
are genuine and equal to credentials from Canada to meet eligibility
requirements. To accomplish this, applicants must get an ECA from a
professional body or multi-purpose ECA organization that has been designated by
the IRCC.
What
is the role of the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB)?
The Minister
has assigned the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) the
authority to grant ECAs as of May 20, 2024, to applicants who have indicated
that their major or intended occupation is the National Occupational
Classification (NOC) of "Architect" (NOC 21200). The CACB's ECAs will
establish how international degrees relate to Canadian qualifications required
for architectural practice. ECAs are acknowledged as a stage in the architect
licensing procedure.
Will
ECAs issued by organizations other than the CACB still be accepted for
architects (NOC 21200)?
IRCC will
continue to accept your ECA if it is still valid if your principal occupation
is "Architect" (NOC 21200) and it was issued by another recognized
organization before October 31, 2024.
What
is the current processing time of the Canadian Architectural Certification
Board (CACB)for ECA.
