The OAA protects the public and governs architects. The Association is dedicated to promoting and increasing the knowledge, skill and proficiency of its members. In Ontario there are 3718 architects and 97 Licensed Technologists OAA (OAA members), 1,470 intern architects (graduates working towards being licensed), and 430 students (enrolled in a school of architecture). In addition, there are 264 honorary or retired members. The OAA licenses architects and certifies practices. Ontario architects are highly trained professionals. You can only call yourself an architect if you are licensed by the OAA. Architectural practices provide architectural services to the public. For an architect to offer any service to the public they must have, or work for, a “Certificate of Practice,” which we call “practices.” There are 1,734 practices in Ontario. The construction, enlargement or alteration of all buildings in Ontario requires an architect unless it says differently in the Architects Act or in the Ontario Building Code.
