All document hard copies must be mailed to the CACB office. All documentation received becomes the property of CACB and will not be returned.
• Documents must be submitted in only one official language (the one you selected to apply), either English or French.
• The CACB retains the right to request further documentation and/or information in support of a candidate’s application to fully comply with the BEFA Certification Program requirements.
Although the application was submitted electronically with scanned supporting documentation, your eligibility cannot be confirmed until you send, via mail or courier, certified true copies of the originals, as follows:
1- the proof of architectural education;
2- the proof of either:
• licensure/registration in a jurisdiction outside Canada; or
• the equivalents to registration/licensure in that /those jurisdiction(s), which may be considered.
If the documents listed above are not in English or French, a certified true copy of an official translation for each document is also required. The institution which issued the original document, or a lawyer or notary may certify the true copies.
If you are unable to provide certified true copies of the required documentation, a statutory declaration will be considered. A lawyer or notary can provide this service in all provinces and territories. (If you are located in the Province of Ontario when swearing the statutory declaration, a Commissioner of Oaths may also provide this service.)
Please forward the documents via mail or courier to this address:
Canadian Architectural Certification Board
1 Nicholas Street, Suite 710 Ottawa, ON K1N 7B7
Please be sure to include your BEFA file number with each documentation you send in.
