What to ExpectThe NCAS Process (Step by Step)
- Set up an online account with NCAS.
- Complete the NCAS application and upload documents.
- NCAS confirms if a Computer Based Assessment (CBA) and a Simulation Lab Assessment (SLA) are required.
The CBA and SLA(s) are scheduled within three months of each other. The CBA is self-scheduled by the Prometric webpage, where an applicant books their dates and testing location. NCAS schedules the SLA.
- Performance Report(s) are shared within 60 days of assessment completion. The regulator is sent a report copy 15 days later. For more information on the NCAS Performance Report, visit our What to Expect page.
International Travel
- Before travelling to Canada to complete an NCAS assessment, contact Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada for visa application requirements. NCAS cannot provide entry into any province to take an assessment and is not responsible for travel or accommodation costs.
- Once NCAS receives your visa confirmation, then we will schedule you for your competency assessment. You will need to provide a travel confirmation document (ex: flight confirmation) no less than 60 days before your competency assessment date. If we do not receive this document, your date will be released to another applicant.
- Please note that we are unable to process visitation letters at this time. This process is currently under review. Please check our website regularly for updates.
