The evaluation process is to confirm that a candidate has education qualifications similar to Canada. There are two parts to the evaluation process. The first part is a comprehensive document evaluation and the second part is an evaluating examination. After approval of the documentation, the examination can be written in London. Evaluating examinations are held twice yearly, every January and July.

Please note that candidates must submit an application to write the Evaluating Exam separate from the document evaluation process. This may be done concurrently if the deadline is near.

The examination is written in two parts over two days and is in a multiple-choice format. The passing grade is 60%.
