I've emailed the Administrative Officers, will share my understanding once I get a reply.
Good question. There was a friend of mine that was going to take his on a certain date in Alberta (i think that is where it was) and he couldn't because there wasn't enough people taking the test even though that was a date already stated.
The tests are $1200.00 ( I think that is what I paid, can't remember (mommy brain) so you would think they wouldn't want to give up that $$ per person??
Who knows eh? ahahaha <--practicing my ehhh's....lol
During each examinations they need to hire examiners, live C/L models, school rental fee, etc.... Then both NACOR and the provincial colleges (ONT, BC, AL, SK, MB) needs to make some $$$ from all this...
I mean let's face it... it all boils down to money.
But as to why BC isn't on the NACOR LIST for 2008, Heck! maybe BC's cut of the $1200 isn't enough next year, or Douglas college has increased their Rent for those two days.. hahahaha :hammer:
STILL NO REPLY FROM NACOR!!! OMG!!! ARE THEY ON HOLIDAYS ON SOMETHING??
try this person???

I did email jdodds@opticians.ca

AND STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY REPLY !!
So I'm finally fed up with the wait and called today.
A lady/reception answered (or someone that claims which could answer all my related NACOR questions)
I asked "Is there still going to be a NACOR examination during spring of 2008? Or would I need to travel to another province to sit for your exam?
Cause there's no DATES for BC in 2008 on your website."
Answer "Don't worry, a spring 2008 BC NACOR examination will definitely take place, there's a discussion regarding the exact date. "
I asked "Why the change?? Is it to an earlier or later date in relation to spring 2007?"
Answer "I cannot release too much info. at this time, but there's DEFINITELY a change and will be posted on the website as soon as the talks are finished.. "
Mmm.... what TALKS?!?!?!!?!?

Just wanted to give you guys an update... never received any reply ..
So I called and spoke with Jodi, got the same reply.. A Discussion is taking place, and no information could be given at this time.
I'm surprised to see 390 hits on this thread... seems like a fair amount of people is interested in this topic. Has anyone else called naco??
