If you're an architect who has received your training and qualifications outside of Canada, the Internationally Educated Architects Work-based Assessment Program will help you:

• Demonstrate your skills and knowledge to an architectural firm
• Obtain local work references
• Learn about Canadian work culture
• Gain Canadian experience in your profession

As a participant in the program, you lend your professional skills and time, and ISANS connects you with a local employer for a 12-week placement.

To be eligible, you must:

• Identify as an Internationally Educated Architect (IEA)
• Be an immigrant Canadian citizen or permanent resident
• Register as an ISANS client and with an ISANS Employment Specialist
• Successfully complete an employer interview
• Commit to completing a 12-week on-the-job placement

Your employment specialist will help you decide if the IEA Bridging Program is right for you.
