Alternative test dates
Scheduling of alternative test dates will be considered for the following reasons:
- Religious reasons;
- Death in the family;
- Medical reasons;
- Conflicting exams (e.g. Law School Admission Test); or
- Other exceptional circumstances.
A doctor's certificate or other proof will be required.
You must contact the nearest Public Service Commission of Canada office to discuss an alternative test date. Requests for alternative dates must be received within five business days of the originally scheduled test (except in the case of a death in the family) or your application will no longer be considered.
Note: If you require special accommodation for the testing process (e.g., provision of sign language interpreters, information in alternative formats, reader services, technical support and/or attendant services), please consult the section on special accommodation.
