Online proctoring for the Pan-Canadian Examinations was initially introduced at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure continuity of service for candidates writing the PCE. As of October 2023, to preserve the integrity and security of the examinations, the Acupuncturists, TCM Herbalists, and TCM Practitioners exams we will be returning to an in-person format at computer-based testing centers. This change is expected to reduce the number of technical issues experienced by candidates, minimize test taker anxiety, and ensure the timely launch of examinations at each testing center.
Examinations will take place at the following locations across Canada:
| Province | City |
|---|---|
| Alberta | Calgary, Edmonton, Fort McMurray, Lethbridge, Lloydminster, Red Deer |
| British Columbia | Abbotsford, Burnaby, Kamloops, Kelowna, Nanaimo, Prince George, Surrey, Vancouver, Victoria |
| Manitoba | Brandon, Winnipeg |
| New Brunswick | Fredericton, Moncton, Saint John |
| Newfoundland | St. John's |
| Nova Scotia | Halifax, Sydney |
| Ontario | Barrie, Kingston, London, Markham, Mississauga, Ottawa, Scarborough, St. Catharine’s, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Toronto, Windsor |
| Prince Edward Island | Charlottetown |
| Saskatchewan | Regina, Saskatoon |
All examinations will still be offered in three languages: English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
