Confusion about regulated professions

[SuperK]

Hi guys, I have a few questions regarding regulated occupations, I work as an architect but I'm still not licensed yet in my country, Is it possible for me to apply with a normal ECA report of my Master's degree or do I need to be licensed? Because they only make it clear that people in the medical field need to check with the regulation body in Canada instead of the ECA report. So what about architects and lawyers? Is there anything like that or an ECA report is sufficient? Thank you in advance, I hope you can clear this up for me because I've already done the language tests and the ECA and got good results and I expect to get around 520 CRS points.

Wow. May I ask how you have 520. You don't count points for certification/licensing for architecture. Your masters can be assessed through ECAs.

well i'm 27yo, I have a master's degree, and I had great results in english and french tests, which is the key to a good CRS score, i think speaking both languages adds a lot of points! I should be getting around 524 hopefully !
so I don't need to contact any regulatory body in Canada right? I simply need the ECA report and then I proceed with the application! correct?

Being bilingual gives you a great score. You just need an ECA through WES. If you want to work as a licensed architect then you need to your degree and work experience assessed.
