I was completing the supplemental application for NOVA when I realized I would have to write the TOEFL exam. I have been living in Canada for 14 years and took two university level English courses that fills the requirement for optometry. I don't understand why they still require the TOEFL exam to be written. All the other school I have applied to have no problems. Why does NOVA require this? I have contacted them and they told me to send them official reports. Has anyone else had problems with this?

I thought that too. Looking back at all the websites now, some don't mention Canada being exempt. Only NECO makes it clear that Canadian students do not require the TOEFL. I don't know what to do...my application is submitted and if the schools don't let me separately write the exam and send it in, i guess my application will just be thrown out. Waste of money and time 🙁
I was in disbelief so I had to check for myself.
I found
Canadian students who have graduated from a Canadian high school where English is the teaching language will also be exempt from TOEFL.
on other websites I remember some say that you need your courses checked out if you go to school outside of the US or CA

Thank you! I wonder why the guy would want to give me a heart attack by telling me I needed to write the exam.
Ya the link you sent is not for the optometry program.Ya I'm not sure. You said you have been living in Canada for 14 years , are you originally from a different country that doesn't speak English? Maybe that matters to them :/
