Withdrawing

What to do if you no longer want to take the NAC Examination.

Withdrawing your exam application

If you have applied to the National Assessment Collaboration (NAC) Examination and are no longer able to take the examination, you may withdraw your application. If you want to take the exam at a later session, deferral to another session is not possible. You must withdraw from your current session and then reapply and pay the application fee for the new session.

Refunds

Full refunds of application fees are not available. Partial refunds are only available if you submit your examination withdrawal request before the withdrawal with partial refund deadline.

  • If you withdraw before the deadline, you will be refunded the NAC Examination application fee and charged the NAC Examination withdrawal fee. The refund will be returned to the credit card used at the time of payment, otherwise a credit will be applied to your physiciansapply.ca account.
  • If you withdraw after the deadline or are absent on the day of the exam, you will forfeit your full application fee.

How to withdraw from the NAC Examination

  1. Log into your physiciansapply.ca account
  2. Click on Examinations in the left panel.
  3. Click on Withdraw from an exam at the bottom of the centre panel.
  4. Follow the steps provided. You will be shown the refunded amount (if applicable) at this step. You will then be asked to confirm that you wish to withdraw.

Extenuating circumstances

If you have extenuating circumstances for withdrawing after the withdrawal deadline or for being absent on your exam day, you may be eligible for a partial refund.

To request a partial refund, send supporting documentation of these circumstances to the MCC ([email protected]), as soon as possible.

The MCC will review your request. If the MCC approves your request for a partial refund, the amount you would be refunded would depend on when you withdrew due to the extenuating circumstances:

  • If you withdrew up until the day before the exam session starts, you would be refunded the NAC Examination application fee and charged the NAC Examination withdrawal fee.
  • If you were absent on the day of the exam, you would be refunded the NAC Examination application fee and charged the NAC Examination administrative fee.

The refund will be returned to the credit card used at the time of payment, otherwise a credit will be applied to your physiciansapply.ca account.

The MCC is not responsible for any costs, fees, penalties or losses that candidates may incur (e.g., relating to travel, childcare or wages).
