Here is the Canadian government's release.

The EU and Canada have concluded a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) on the recognition of professional qualifications of architects. The MRA became binding on 18 December 2025 and is now in force.

More harmonization of regulations with the EU please. Trying to keep ourselves in lockstep with the US regulatory framework has been holding us back for so long (and that's the way the US likes it).

We love you guys, you are just like us, we would get along great. At least us Scandinavians. We're polite and like hockey too. And we are just normal. Not like your neighbor.

This is huge news. Maybe Engineers and Geoscientists will have recognition treaties in a couple years too. Though some professional bodies might put up a fuss over it.

I want Canada in the EU. Also Japan, New Zealand, Australia, and... Greenland. And Iceland. All the normal countries should come to us.

Edit: Uruguay can come too.

This needs to become comprehensive. Engineers, medical professionals, tradespeople.

Won't that just cause doctors to flee canada? We already have a big shortage here...

It will either worsen the shortage, or accelerate privatization in order to attract talent here

I personally know of more cases of European trained doctors having moved here and then returning to Europe due to long processes of getting recognition of credentials than of Canadian-trained doctors leaving in the first place.

I think modern architects need to be investigated and subjected to a public trial to justify why new homes and buildings look the way they do.

Beauticians next. And then arborists.
