How to Apply

• A candidate must meet the CCEB eligibility requirement, see Examination Eligibility Policy.
• While the CCEB is guided by the eligibility requirements that have been determined by the members- (Canadian chiropractic regulatory bodies) candidates are responsible for verifying their licensure/registration eligibility directly with the regulatory body in the province or territory in which they intend to practice.

• All funds are processed in Canadian dollars.
• All fees are subject to change without notice.
• Exam fees must be remitted via the payment processor using the online application portal. No other form of payment is accepted.

• Candidates are required to sign and submit the appropriate ‘Candidate Agreement’ as a component of the application package.
• Candidates should select the agreement that reflects their application:
  • Candidate Agreement for Online Examination – For candidates selecting the remote-proctored Written Examination.
  • Candidate Agreement for In-Person Examination – For candidates selecting in-person Written Examination and for all Clinical Examination applications.
