CACB International Policy Adopted October 28, 2006

The CACB objectives are to increase the opportunities for the export of Canadian architectural services through achieving and maintaining mutual recognition agreements demonstrating excellence of the Canadian quality assurance systems for university-based architectural education and the Canadian architectural licensing and registration system; promoting fairness and equitability of Canadian licensing, registration and accreditation processes; and participating in international fora for accreditation and recognition of internationally credentials, such as the IAQHE (International Conference on Assessing Quality in Higher Education), the CQAHE (the Center for Quality Assurance in Higher Education), etc.; and in partnership with its members, negotiating such mutual recognition agreements that would facilitate market entry for Canadian architects abroad, and professional settlement for internationally trained architects in Canada.

The CACB seeks to play a leadership role in promoting Canadian systems of quality assurances in architectural education and licensure, and to assist countries in the process of establishing similar systems of their own.
