Testimonials

"I was so excited when I first arrived in Canada. The country is so promising and Canadians always welcome new comers like me.

But working in the field of architecture is another story.

In the first few months I have a high hope of landing a job in an architectural office but that gradually eroded when I didn't get any call for an interview.

I started working for a company not related to architecture until I met someone from UAP-Ontario Chapter.

As a new member, I started to learn new skills from training conducted by the chapter, became aware of other members' experiences and began to gain back my self-esteem.

Eventually, I found myself sending resumes again until I got the right job for me.

Thanks to UAP-Ontario Chapter.

J. Cruz (member-UAP-ON)

“I never thought a dream to become an architect in Ontario is possible until I became a member of UAP-ON Chapter.

The UAP-Ontario provides a variety of informations through trainings and seminars, and during one of those seminars I attended, I've learned about the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB).

Now I'm already an intern architect and looking forward to my license to practice architecture in Ontario.
