Licensure
The BC Society of Landscape Architects regulates the profession of landscape architecture in BC according to provincial Architects (Landscape) Act. The Society promotes continuing education and high standards of professional practice in order to assure the health, safety and welfare of the public in British Columbia.
Labour Mobility
In Canada Landscape Architects are regulated only in Ontario and British Columbia. The two regulated provinces have had a reciprocity agreement since 1995, which assures easy mobility of Landscape Architects between Ontario and British Columbia . Landscape Architects moving from a non-regulated province or from outside of Canada will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. The Labour Mobility Coordinating Group has reviewed the reciprocity agreement and believes Landscape Architects have demonstrated excellent progress toward meeting labour mobility obligations.
BC Work Futures provides a comprehensive description of close to 200 occupations as they relate directly to the BC labour market.
The Work Destinations Website is a comprehensive source of information on regulated trades and professions in Canada . It contains information on entry requirements in both official languages and is the only site designed primarily for professional or trades people moving within Canada . It also provides information for persons considering immigration to Canada .
International Credentials Evaluation Service
ICES evaluates formal for-credit educational programs of study for people who have studied in other provinces or countries and determines comparable levels in British Columbian and Canadian terms. Membership applicants are responsible for payment in full of all fees, including investigation fees for an extra-jurisdictional review, admission fees, and other reasonable assessments.
