Enrich Your Internship Journey With EXACTLI's Community.
Canada's one and only free community for intern architects. Prep for the ExAC, move through your internship, and grow with others on the same path. Built by architects, for future architects.
The ExAC was not built to study alone.

- Fully bilingual support · EN & FR.
The ExAC isn't hard because you're not smart enough.
You're studying alone at 11pm.
You're switching between three contradictory study guides at midnight. 2020 NBC navigation tanks your speed — you know where the article lives, you just can't get there fast enough. CCDC scenario logic tanks your judgment — every option sounds half-right, and nobody is in the room to walk you through it.
Capable interns fail every November.
Hundreds of candidates fail sections they could have passed — not because they didn't know the material, but because they didn't know what to focus on and they didn't have a group of peers and guides to help them get unstuck.
The career cost.
Another year before you can use the title “Architect.” Another year of stalled salary increases. Another exam fee. Another cycle of doubt — stacked on top of full-time work and life.
Walk the path shoulder-to-shoulder.
The Exactli Community puts you with interns walking the same path — plus licensed architects and alumni who've been through it. Ask a 2020 NBC question at 11pm; get a peer answer by morning. Drill CCDC scenarios in weekly threads. Stop guessing what “ready” looks like.

Common questions, before you join.
If yours isn't here, ask inside the community on day one.
Is it really free?
Yes. The community is free to join — no credit card, no trial, no paywall on the discussion. You can join, ask questions, attend live Q&A sessions, and download study materials without paying anything.
Do I need to be an Exactli member to join?
No. The community is open to any intern architect preparing for the ExAC, regardless of which study materials or guides you use. We do recommend the Exactli study schedule as a starting framework — it's free with your community access.
How active is it, really?
Daily activity in the section channels (1, 2, 3, 4). Weekly live Q&A sessions hosted by Exactli architects and guides. Monthly alumni AMAs in EN and FR. You'll never wait more than a few hours for a peer reply.
What if I'm a repeat candidate?
You're welcome — and you're not alone. A meaningful share of our members are sitting again. We have a dedicated channel for repeat candidates focused on diagnosing exactly what went wrong last sitting and rebuilding the prep around it.
How do I get my questions answered?
Post in the relevant section channel. Tag a topic like 2020 NBC, CCDC, CHOP, or exam day. Peer replies are quick; alumni replies typically follow within a day; Exactli architects and professionals weigh in during weekly live sessions.
Do I have to be in Canada to join?
No. You can access the community from anywhere in the world and prepare for the ExAC alongside Canadian interns. The platform is fully bilingual, EN & FR, and every meetup, channel, and alumni AMA is open to international members.
Stop studying alone. Start studying with peers.
Free to join. 60 seconds to register.
Every month you don't sit it costs you more than the study package.
The ExAC was never meant to be studied alone.
Join the only Canadian community of intern architects preparing together — bilingual, alumni-backed, free to join.
