To have your educational qualifications certified, you need to bring the following documents:

i) Official transcript of record or certified* true copy thereof, showing grade or standing achieved in each subject for each year of the course in architecture completed;

ii) Certified* true copy of the official translation of the transcripts if the original documents are not in French or English.

iii) Certified* true copy of all degrees must be submitted even though the conferring of such degree title may appear on another document, i.e. official transcript of record.

iv) Certified* true copy of the official translation of degrees if the original documents are not in French or English.

v) University Calendar describing all programmes including architecture undertaken by the applicant or equivalent documentation. It is very important that the university calendar be for the years you were attending the university and that the calendar contains:

• the description of the content of every individual course;
• the number of hours of lectures and the number of hours of studio spent on each course;
• the number of terms in an academic year;
• the number of weeks of studies per term.

vi) Certified* true copy of the official translation of the university calendar if original document is not in French or English. (Note: Canadian Architectural Certification Board only requires the translation of the sections related to your programme in architecture);

vii) List of the academic design projects completed throughout the programme in architecture, as well as a brief description of each project.

viii) Portfolio of academic design (copies not originals).  Although the submission of a portfolio of academic design work is not mandatory with the initial application, it is strongly recommended that applicants submit one in order to expedite the certification process.
