Exam Dates, Registration Periods, and Schedule
Updated June 2, 2023
Sonography Canada exams are administered 3 times per year, over a 3-day period (depending on which exams are being challenged).
Please note: Effective January 2023 and beyond, the Vascular exam will be written on Day 1 of the exam period.
Until further notice, for all upcoming exam administration dates, Sonography Canada exams will be administered online with remote proctoring. However, if a candidate prefers to write at an in-person centre, every attempt will be made to secure a site upon request. Due to the ongoing pandemic, many in-person test centres remain closed or are open with significantly reduced capacity. For more information, please review the Candidate Guide on the Accredited Program Applicants or the Alternate Pathways Applicants pages.
Please note: All exam, registration or withdrawal dates are subject to change
