01
What the planner includes
Choose the published fee period that applies to your registration payment. The planner uses Canadian-registration fees, not US-registration fees. The examination location does not decide which registration fee applies. An international test location adds the published CAD 150 scheduling fee, with VAT where applicable.
The tax field is an estimate for the exam and international scheduling line only. It is not a tax determination. Use the final Pearson checkout total. Enter each other cost as its all-in CAD amount to avoid applying the same tax twice.

02
Avoid an incomplete budget
A blank cost means you have not confirmed it; it does not mean the service is free. Depending on your pathway, budget for the regulator application, assessment provider, document delivery and translation, accepted language evidence, competence assessment or required education, travel and final registration. An entry of zero should mean you confirmed that the cost is not applicable.
Use a provider’s own quote and record its currency. If it is not in CAD, convert it separately before entering it and allow for bank or exchange fees. RN Clarity preparation is optional and is separate from regulator fees.

03
Changes, cancellation and another attempt
Pearson states that examination registration and international scheduling fees are non-refundable. A retake can require another exam registration payment and other costs. Read the current scheduling and cancellation rules before paying. The planner does not add a retake or appointment change automatically.
