Canadian employers have high demand for architects as plenty of Canadian employers have high demand for architects in the nation. Therefore architects all over the globe who are intending to have a wonderful future can look Canada as an option to work and have an amazing future in the country.
 
First of all, it is mandatory for architects working in countries like India (for instance) to know that a prosperous and ace future lies in front of them if they will consider working in a country like Canada. The kind of working conditions and salaries they get in their home country are far better than their home country. So, when the same amount of work gives you more salary, why not IMMIGRATE!
 
Salaries of Architects in Canada
 
One thing is for sure that the salary count is much higher than what you may get in your home country. As far as the salaries are concerned, different people get salaries in accordance with different experience and qualification that they have.
 
Statistics say that a senior project architect in Vancouver should top $100k. And the chances are that the amount of salary is likely to get higher if you are working with a larger company. As far as the interns are concerned, they also manage to make about 45-55k, a salary which can rise till $60-80k, depending upon the firm.
 
Qualifying Criteria
 
It is mandatory for the applicant to have a minimum of a bachelor's degree from some recognized institution of architecture. In addition to that, it is essential to have cleared the examination for architect registration.
 It is essential for the applicant to have decked with an experience of at least one year in the related field.
 As far as the overall experience is concerned, a person must have experience of around 2-4 years.
 Other factors also play a critical role. These are marital status and proficiency in the English language.
 
Scope of Architects
 
The industry is going miles and there is no denying to this fact that the scope is vast, not only in Canada, but in other countries too. And with an economy like Canada, a wonderful pay scale is decked with amazing state of the art facilities and working conditions that there is nothing left that one can ask for.
 
A Wonderful Future
 
You can rest ensure that a prosperous future is waiting for you and your family in Canada. Some of the best educational system and ace quality of life is geared with your entrance to a country like Canada.

Thanks Shibuya for such a wonderful quote. Just one question, you said that factors such as marital status impact. Can you brief out what exactly you mean by this?

Thanks for giving a good insight on FSW for architects.

Just one question on this. Since Architect occupation for FSW ended this year, are there any fair chances of the occupation being listed next year? This is a very crucial for me as we are planning to apply next year and if there are any chances of the occupation getting listed for next year, I can appoint a lawyer now to work on my application (for which I have to pay - This if for FSW July 2012 application).

Any reply on this will be really helpful.

You have to wait for June that's when the new occupations are listed.
Have your application ready by June, and send it once the occupation is open.
And there is no need to appoint a lawyer. You can do it yourself online.
Just follow the instructions step by step. They  are very clear and straight forward.
Hope this helps

you have to check your bank or your visa payment, if they have withdrawn the payment then you are in.... if not, then you r probably have to wait for your paper..
