On November 13, 2025, representatives from the Regulatory Organizations of Architecture in Canada (ROAC) and the U.S. National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) signed an updated Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) that will expand access to opportunities for Canadian and U.S. architects.
The refreshed MRA goes into effect on January 15, 2026, and will replace the existing one between the two countries.
