New restrictions in Montreal coming tomorrow. Unclear whether exams will take place. I hope the abovementioned exemption for "critical" exams remains in effect in Montreal...
Absolutely ridiculous how 12 people sitting in a room in Montreal to write an exam with masks on and social distancing...
CONFIRMED. Double Tree Hilton has confirmed with me that the "Quebec Holiday Pause" does NOT affect the FRM exams. Direct quote from the hotel event manager below:
" the event can still happen as it is considered Professional Exam. We are open 24hrs/days, 365 days/year, so yes it could of...
