What to bring to your test

Please remember the following on the day of your test:

• Your PR card/Landing Paper/Work Permit (ORIGINAL, not a photo or photocopy)

• Your Manitoba Health card or any document that shows your address (eg: lease agreement, bank statement, etc)

• Optional: a water bottle (we have no vending machine or water fountain)

Important reminders:

• The test may take approximately three hours. You must be able to stay 3 hours.

• There is not free/sponsored parking, there are many paid lots nearby. Please park somewhere that offers at least 3 hours of parking (street parking is limited to 2 hours).

• You CANNOT bring children to the test. No exceptions. 

• Please arrive early for your test. If you are more than 10 minutes late, you will not be tested. 

• If you need to cancel your test, call 204-943-5387 or email info@welarc.net. Whenever possible please provide 48 hours notice of cancellation. 

• Please refrain from bringing other members of your family on your assessment date. Only test-takers can remain in the waiting room.

Parking:

• There is NO free parking or sponsored parking at the test site. The test can take 3 hours to complete, and you CANNOT leave during your test to pay for parking, so we do not recommend relying on metered street parking. Please take into consideration the time to find and pay for parking when you arrive for your test.
