3.1 Standard registration process


▪ The Natural Resources Canada Housing Division exams are hosted by Yardstick Software Inc. (Yardstick) at https://nrcan.ysasecure.com. Click on this link and "Create A New Account" if you do not already have one.

▪ Select the 'products' option at the top to review the available examinations for purchase.

▪ Once the examination is chosen, simply follow the purchase steps provided on the platform (NOTE - only major credit cards are approved. No other form of payment is accepted). You need to pay for the exam before you can select your preferred location and time.

▪ Once the purchase is complete, simply click on 'my exams'.

▪ You will then see the word 'book' next to the examination in question. Select that button.

▪ You will then be directed to select a region (city) you wish to write and you will be provided with options within that region.

▪ Select the location as well as three date/time combinations for your examination request and submit. (NOTE - you will not be able to choose any date sooner than five business days from the day you are entering this request as the testing site needs time to coordinate this request).

▪ At this point the request will be reviewed by Yardstick and coordinated with the testing site. Once the date/time combination has been confirmed, you will receive a final booking confirmation email with the details on the date, time, location and examination particulars.
