Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. Launch an Updated Reciprocity Agreement for Architects

The Regulatory Organizations of Architecture in Canada (ROAC), Comité Mexicano para la Práctica Internacional de la Arquitectura (COMPIAR), and the U.S. National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) launched an updated Tri-National Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) on October 1, increasing access to international practice opportunities for architects in North America. The updated agreement recognizes the level of competency established through each country’s initial licensure/registration processes and removes several post-licensure barriers to eligibility. Through these changes, the three groups maintain the level rigor needed to protect the public while ensuring all qualified architects who are interested in pursuing international licensure/registration now have a pathway to reciprocity.
