These descriptions constitute the criteria against which your optometry education and training will be assessed by\u00a0Canadian Optometric Evaluation Committee (COEC). If after reviewing the course descriptions, you think that the combination of your degree(s) and other formal training in optometry is comparable to the education and training provided at the University of Waterloo, you should consider applying for credential assessment.<\/p>\n<p>Applicants who are graduates of non-accredited optometry programs and institutions (including all institutions outside Canada and the United States) must meet the following academic criteria before they will be considered eligible to apply for the Internationally Graduated Optometrist Evaluating Examination (IGOEE). If you have not completed one of the following educational paths, you will not be eligible to practice optometry in Canada.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8475ad3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"8475ad3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1381\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1381\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">If your enrolment in your undergraduate study program commenced after August 31, 2014<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1381\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1381\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You must have successfully completed either:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">a) three complete academic years of full-time* undergraduate university studies in sciences and a 4-year optometry degree**<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>or<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">b) a 4-year optometry degree followed by three years of full-time work experience as a licensed Optometrist providing direct patient care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1382\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1382\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">If your enrolment in your undergraduate study program commenced prior to September 1, 2014<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1382\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1382\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You must have successfully completed either:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">a) three complete academic years of full-time* undergraduate university studies and a 4-year optometry degree**<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>or<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">b) a 4-year optometry degree followed by three years of full-time work experience as a licensed Optometrist providing direct patient care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1383\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1383\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">NOTES<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1383\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1383\"><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">*Full-time refers to 5 courses per four-month term or semester with two terms per year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">** The following is accepted as equivalent to a 4-year optometry degree: A three-year optometry degree followed by a pre-registration period of supervised practice endorsed by an appropriate authority in the source country and successful completion of the final assessment.
