As authorized by the Professional Governance Act and AIBC Bylaws, Architects registered in another jurisdiction may apply to be registered as a Temporary Licensee (Architect) to enable them to provide or to promote architectural services in British Columbia. Applicants must be in good standing with another Architectural Regulator and have a collaborating Architect AIBC to participate in the project.
Applicants must establish eligibility for a Temporary Licence by notifying the AIBC in writing at least two weeks in advance of offering or promoting any service, including responding to a Request for Proposal.
For more information, including a sample letter of intent template, see Bulletin 22: Temporary Licence Requirements for Architects Registered in Another Jurisdiction Wishing to Provide or Promote Architectural Services in British Columbia (PDF). The collaborating Architect AIBC may be identified in the letter of intent if known at the time of submission.
