Just curious, Is exam happening in Ottawa on Oct 24.2020?

Since when is there an exam site in Ottawa? According to GARP, there is only Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary...? https://www.garp.org/#!/exam-sites


I am thinking of changing my test centre to either Calgary or Vancouver, depending on how the October and/or November exams go there. Ottawa would be better, since it is closer to me in Montreal.

Lagos, NIgeria I can understand. There are violent protests going on and a forced curfew as well.

How is the situation in Milan?

It's really astounding they have not sent a notification on the Milan cancellation yet. I had an option to cancel my flight but I lost it because I've checked in already...

@sjm9000

I just wanted to make sure that you saw that GARP posted that the Milan exam is postponed until January. I saw it around 2:50 p.m. EST so they must have posted it shortly before that. I've been checking their website each hour for announcements because I post them here to make sure our members are aware of postponements and other changes.

wow talk about bad timing! why does GARP do these last minute cancelations?

 

[czet]

Luxembourg postponed to November,
Germany not postponed but split into 2 locations apparently - I've been assigned a different hotel now. Hope there aren't any more last minute cancelations.

I wish all candidates good luck for the exam tomorrow!

Strangely I do not see Milan on the important notices page: https://www.garp.org/#!/important-notices

I guess Schrödinger's cat paradox is applicable to the postponement (or not) of the Milan exam.

Hi anything on London 24th tomorrow?

Hello @sjm9000

After checking this morning, you are correct that it has been removed. Yesterday, I copy/pasted directly from their website and posted it here: https://forum.bionicturtle.com/thre...p-updated-on-a-regular-basis.23454/post-84799. I will try to reach out to GARP to see if there are any changes in Milan, but if anyone else gets an update before me, we would appreciate it if you would post it here.

Hello @mbbx5va2

I am continuing to post any announcement that GARP makes. The only announcement today is the postponement of Luxembourg so far.

Hello @hlahdar

Yes, I'm not sure why it was removed from the list on their important notices page (which is where they have told people to look for postponements), but I've reached out to GARP to see if they can provide more information.

I just called directly the Hilton in Milan e they confirmed that the exam is cancelled, at least at their location.

For what it's worth, I called directly the Hilton in Milan and they confirmed that the exam was cancelled at their venue. I think that Garp just did not prepare any plan B. Got official email yesterday and my dashboard already says January 2021. Therefore I think it is official.
