Hi all,

I am just wondering if international students can write the Canadian DAT?

They specified on the confirmation letter as following,
  • Two pieces of government-issued identification bearing your signature; one piece of identification must also include your photo.
  • only the below listed will be accepted: passport, citizenship card, health care card, driver's license, certificate of Indian status
As an international student, I only have driver license and the provincial health card--which does NOT have signature. I'm really freaking that I won't be able to take the exam. Does anyone have any knowledge about this?
 
you must have a passport if you're an international student right?
I do, just the CDA specifies Canadian passport on their instruction manual which made me confused and panic. But I emailed them and they said passport from my home country is okay for my case so I'm so relieved. Thanks!
