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.

Please note that jurisprudence examination is specific to the individual provincial jurisdiction to which you are applying. Although CEO may administer jurisprudence examinations on behalf of those provincial regulators requesting this service, the responsibility for the exam remains with each respective regulator and you must contact the regulator to register and/or to obtain further information regarding the jurisprudence process.
