  • Enclose your cheque for $3,450.00 (Canadian funds only) made payable to Canadian Examiners in Optometry.
  • Sign the form indicating that you agree to the terms and conditions of the Assessment.
  • Send your application to:
Canadian Examiners in Optometry
6085 Main Street
Stouffville, Ontario L4A 3R4

Please Note: If you are sending CSAO registration documents via courier from outside Canada, you are advised NOT to assign a declared value. Declared values are subject to duties and taxes for which CEO will not be responsible. As a result your delivery may be declined at point of clearing.

Confirmation of your candidacy will be sent to you upon payment of your application fee.

The address given on your application form will be the address to which CEO directs its communication with you. CEO is not responsible for any miscommunication as a result of you not providing a change of address notice, in writing, with complete details of all changes. 

The application deadline date is never extended. Ensure that CEO receives your completed application form on or before the deadline date. A valid cheque or money order must accompany your application form for it to be processed. Incomplete application forms or applications without appropriate payment will not be processed.
