Hey! I'm a Canadian Citizen living in Dubai. Am I also eligible for this syllabus program? What will be the alternative to the Design Studios and/or experience? Thanks in advance!
Thank you so much for your informative videos! As soon as I watched one of your videos, I hit the subscribe button. Not only the contents, but also your speed of speaking and tone of voice are just perfect to understand for an international student like me. I hope I can be like you sometime.
Hey Ashley, I am a foreign architect in Toronto, I am struggling with getting a job on an architecture firm, even as a cad Drafter... I did a 2 year postgraduate on construction management, none the less its difficult to be considered by an architecture firm. What courses or steps (maybe admission into a regulatory organization) do you think can increase my chances of getting a job in Architecture?
I emailed them to inquire, their only requirements is being able to study and work in Canada. The classes are online so that's one hurdle, I guess a work visa is the last...
You are inspiration for everyone who is looking to become an architect . I just graduated as an architectural technology at George Brown College . I’m looking to become an architect. Which pathway you can recommend me ? Thank you
Thank you Gabriel! If I can do it, you can too 😊 It depends on what you prefer and what works better for you. If you need more flexibility the Syllabus program is a good option however if you need more structure and prefer in person learning I would recommend the university route. I personally prefer in person learning over online learning, its more engaging.
Hi Ashley, thanks for sharing this! I'm thinking of career change. This program looks fantastic! It seems Part II and III have to be taken in person in Canada (studio), is that right? If without any drawing or designing background, what should I do to get that started? I currently live in the US and pursuing a real estate license, but eventually, I want to design houses and learn architecture along the way. Do you know any of your colleagues who work in US and how they transfer their licensure to the US? Great video!
Hi 👋 You're welcome! That's correct the studio's are completed in Canada. You'll need to have a portfolio which illustrates your artistic skills. When I applied for my undergrad and had no architecture background I used my paintings (portraits and landscapes), pencil & ink drawings (portraits, landscapes, objects, etc.), sculptures, etc. I used all the projects that I completed in my art class in the portfolio. The following is a clip from the Syllabus program website which explains what they are expecting in the portfolio: "The admission application asks for a portfolio. What is required? What are you expecting? The purpose of the admission portfolio is to provide studio coordinators with an understanding of an incoming student's artistic capabilities, in at least 5-10 images. A portfolio is intended to demonstrate a range of drawing and modeling techniques, showing both hand and computer work. Consider if the work demonstrates your understanding and applicant of colour, texture, materiality, and form. The use of multiple media is appreciated, but the portfolio MUST INCLUDE hand sketches (portraits, perspectives, patterns, objects, or landscapes)." Some students may have advanced building science knowledge and can demonstrate that in building plans, sections, elevations, and details. However, the portfolio should be of your original work, nothing that was created in a firm or office. The portfolio should be made of past work. It is not the intent that students create work exclusively for their portfolio submission." The following is a link for more info: raic-syllabus.ca/faqs#portfolio? I know a few colleagues that transferred US degrees to Canada and are working in Canada. As long as your degree is accredited by the NAAB then you could transfer it over to Canada through the CACB, cacb.ca/accredited-professional-degree/. I don't know if the Syllabus program can be transferred to the US, I would recommend getting in contact with RAIC Syllabus Registrar at info@raic-syllabus.ca. They would be best to answer your question. You could also do a Master's in Architecture and as long as its an accredited program by the CACB (Canadian Architectural Certification Board) it is also recognized in the US, and several other countries under the Canberra Accord. Once you get your education from an accredited program then you need to collect your experience and write the exams. I have more experience with the Canadian process to licensure since I'm licensed in Canada however I would recommend looking into the NAAB www.naab.org/, the AIA (American Institute of Architects) www.aia.org/, and if you need more information about the Canadian process I would recommend a few more videos on the channel (see below) along with the RAIC (Royal Architectural Institute of Canada website raic.org/. - How to become an Architect in Canada: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U7lMs-9EzVQ.html - My journey to licensure: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SSxirWMYBoU.html I hope this helps 😊
Hi Ashley! Loved the video and found abundance of information just what i needed. One querry, is it possible to attain the Architect license after some years if i initially do a 2 year Post Grad. Diploma course in a field in relation to architecture and not a Degree course from a university?
Hi Divit, beyond the Syllabus program the other option to licensure is doing the university path which means doing a Bachelor's degree which can be outside of architecture (i.e. fine arts, philosophy, sciences, etc.) or within architecture. Then you need to do a masters degree from an accredited school, in Canada there are currently 12 programs. If you hold a bachelor's degree from an international school that is a minimum of 5 years then you could get your education certified by the CACB and you wouldn't need a masters degree. So these are the main methods for licensure, anything outside of this wouldn't allow you to be licensed in Canada. I hope this helps.
new subscriber, I just got my architectural technician diploma from Georgian College, I hope RAIC can accept some of the courses I have taken in that program as advanced standing, So I will not lose my 2 years of study (Also paid as an international student and don't want to waste the $30,000 I paid with effort). This RAIC alternative is great for most people starting a new life in Canada and need income, gain experience and education at the same time. Please bring us more info from RAIC I think there could be a lot of valuable content. Thank you for what you do.
@@Jjayngie hi, to be honest I would have choose humber college. It is in Toronto, better classes, Georgian do not exceed my expectations sometimes it was frustrating
@@danielgranados4035 I have considered applying to some universities and colleges in the GTA, however, moving to Barrie made it complicated for me because of the distance/traveling. Also, can’t afford to rent. So right now my only option is Georgian College. Can’t really find some reviews online about their arch tech programs, I’m really glad to stumble on this vid. Btw I was planning to take the 3 year program. Is it better than the 2 year one?. And doesn’t the program include a co-op? So hoping this will somehow help you find a job after?. P.s-Sorry if I ask too much. And thank you…wish u all good..
@@Jjayngie well I have lived in Barrie now I live in Toronto, and the rent now is the same actually Barrie now is the most expensive city in Ontario lol, and If u are international just study 2 years it is stupid expensive to take more time, I studied the two years now I have my PR and now I’m planing on finishing the 3rd year at much lower price (because now I’m a resident) don’t worry I had to do the same you did when I was back home ask a lot in facebook and RU-vid because here is a new life and new world
@@Jjayngie well now Barrie is the most expensive city in Ontario lol 😂 and if your considering in working and studying it will be harder in Barrie (but not impossible I worked there) and just take the 2 years program once u get ur PR u can finish the 3rd year and pay much less. That’s what I’m doing now. Don’t worry I’m happy to help sorry for the late response I don’t check RU-vid replies to often :/
Hi Kodi! Great question, unfortunately I'm not familiar with the American system. However I found that there is an alternative path as well in the US, see this link by the NCARB for more info: www.ncarb.org/press/ncarb-launches-certificate-portfolio
Thank you Ashley. I am currently being rejected by the Master of Architecture in University of Toronto. I applied beyond my bachelor in science and got rejection🥲 What do you think I should do to earn my education in Architecture? Is this syllabus program a good alternative to me? Can you tell us more about your coworker’s experience in studying this program and is it possible to find jobs with this syllabus program experience in order to fullfill the hours?
Hello Ashley. Great video with lots of information. I have completed my 5years Bachelor of Architecture. I want to know if my degree is not certified/equivalent from CACB for 5 years, they ask to complete this syllabus program? Thank you very much.
Hi Abdul! thank you 😊This would depend on the assessment by the CACB, I recommend getting in touch with the CACB program coordinator for more information (cacb.ca/eligibility/). The CACB Certification Coordinator email is info@cacb.ca . I hope this helps.
Hi Rodas, I would recommend getting in touch through email with the CACB coordinator. The following is a link to the website: cacb.ca/eligibility/ . Certification Coordinator email: info@cacb.ca . I hope this helps.
I am a graduate Architect with a Higher National Diploma and Post Graduate Certificate in Landscape Architecture, how can I study and work in the west to upgrade my level and dreams
Hello Ashley, just seeing your video for the first time. Please I have a BSc in Architecture with over 15 years of experience. From Nigeria. Please what would you advise?
Hello. Thanks for this video. Do you think one can follow this course while working part-time in an unrelated job? Or do you need to already have experience in architecure.
Hi Elodie C! I think you can since the Syllabus program is flexible. You just need to be mindful of your time management. I would recommend looking into the Syllabus website for more information: raic-syllabus.ca/
Yes, there is a way. As of July 2023 15 states will accept experience in lieu of a degree. I am a licensed architect in two states and do not have a degree. Once you are licensed for 3 years you can submitt a portfolio to earn an NCARB certificate which will allow you to get licensed in 42 states. The states that do not accept the certificate really do not matter much. It can take longer without a degree depending on which state you get licensed in but you will have more experience and knowledge of the profession vs a recent graduate. An architect without a degree and 7-10 years experience vs. an architect with a degree and 2-5 years experience will earn more money and will not have the student loan debt. An associates degree in architectural technology is a good option for someone with little to no knowledge of the profession. This degree is less demanding, cost less, there are online options, and can allow you to work fulltime whereas a NAAB accredited degree can require 80+ hours a week in course work which will prohibit you from earning an income, cost significantly more, and require you to attend fulltime. There are online NAAB accredited degrees but they are very expensive.
Hi Rainbow School, you have two options: 1. Syllabus Program (as discussed in this video) 2. University Route (Bachelor and Masters degree) I have a video that discusses the process; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U7lMs-9EzVQ.html
Hi Mukul, are you referring to job salary after graduating? The following are some numbers for Intern Architect Salary; www.payscale.com/research/CA/Job=Intern_Architect/Salary .

Hi Natasha! I would also consider looking into scholarships, I have a blog with a list of resources: www.ashleyeusebio.com/blog/how-to-find-canadian-scholarships . To help with your research the following are some colleges and programs in Vancouver to look into further: 1. VCAD: www.vcad.ca/programs/architecture-design-and-technology/ 2. Vancouver Community College: www.vcc.ca/programs/architectural-technician-certificate/ 3. BCIT: www.bcit.ca/programs/architectural-science-bachelor-of-architectural-science-full-time-8050btech/ . I hope this helps.
Hi Clipped! You could look into studying or working in Canada. I recommend this video if your looking for insight on finding a job within the architecture industry; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ULowG6EfVxo.html . Or if you're looking into studying the RAIC syllabus program is a good option or doing a masters degree, the following is a video of the top 3 architecture schools; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Lugenpq6Hjk.html . If you are already a foreign licensed architect or an international graduate with a Bachelor in Architecture that is a min. 5 years you could look into getting your education certified, more insight and information in this video; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WfQ0Vx7Uol0.html . I hope this helps.
Hi Om Patel! The license would follow your internship so a license is not required to become an intern architect. I have a video on how to become an intern architect which might provide more info; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mQrJzMiklR0.html . If your thinking about working/living in Ontario the following is a link to the OAA website with more details; oaa.on.ca/registration-licensing/intern-architect . I hope this helps 😊
Can you please tell me if i have done 4 years of under grad from india in hospitality and 2.5 years worked in 5 star hotel, then can i switch my career to do masters in architecture ? what subjects may vary like can you elaborate ?
Hi Mukul, you can get into the syllabus program with a 4 year degree in hospitality. However, for more information about the details of the syllabus program I would recommend getting in touch with the program coordinator through email (info@raic-syllabus.ca). If your looking into doing a masters you could look into inter-disciplinary programs that don't require a background architecture (bachelor in Architecture). I list the programs in this short video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_yG1Qxuei4g.html
