SEAS FEES

SEAS FEES

SEAS is built on a three-point, graduated fee structure so that internationally educated occupational therapists (IEOTs) pay only as they progress successfully through the assessment process. The three points of payment are:

  1. Upon initial application and submission of the WES ICAP Document-by-Document Credential Evaluation Report. Learn more HERE.
  2. Prior to the Profession Specific Credential Assessment (PSCA) curriculum review and Jurisprudence Knowledge Assessment Test (JKAT)
  3. When registering for the Competency Assessment (CA)

As per the Canada Revenue Agency, all SEAS fees are subject to provincial Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) or Goods and Services Tax (GST). The tax amount will be calculated at the time you pay each SEAS fee, and the rate applied is according to the province in which you reside. The tax rate charged to your SEAS fee may change if your address changes over the course of the SEAS process. IEOTs living outside of Canada at the time of payment are not subject to HST/GST on their SEAS fees.

Total SEAS fee is $4,120.00, plus applicable taxes. All fees are in Canadian dollars.
