Instructions

In order for this application to be processed you must:

  • Complete all relevant sections of the form.
  • Upload/send all required documents (see document list below).
  • Send transcript(s) of marks from university(ies) in sealed envelope or request that university send them directly to NSDA.
  • Incomplete applications will be denied. Applicants should note that approval of a completed application, including all required documents, may take up to four weeks. If your application is denied, your registration fee will be returned and you will be advised of the reason(s) for the decision and the appeal process.
  • If your cheque is returned because of insufficient funds (NSF), the application will be held back until payment is honoured. An incomplete application or NSF cheque will delay the processing of your application. There is a penalty of $25.00 for NSF cheques.

Documents

Upload a photocopy of your personal identification (e.g. passport, driver's license). Arrange to have a regulated professional (e.g. lawyer, engineer, accountant, dietitian, nurse) sign their name, indicate their professional designation and registration number. Please make sure you have documents scanned in PDF or JPG format before you begin

Alternatively, you can send your copy of your birth certificate or citizenship documentation by regular mail but this will considerably lengthen the time for processing.

Required Documents:

These documents are required in order to complete the application.

  • Copy of birth certificate or citizenship documentation, signed by a regulated professional with profession and registration number indicated.
