I will be applying for postgraduate course in Canada in the next few months and will need to undertake a written assessment. Are there any college professors in the Dave's community that might be able to invigilate this? If not, has anybody gone about finding an invigilator in Korea for this purpose?

The Canadian Embassy will do it for you. There are fees.

I wrote a few tests at the Canadian Embassy. The guy who invigilated them was pretty bad though. We were in a small, quiet room together while I wrote it. He was anything but small and quiet. Rather than breathing normally, he snored constantly even though he was awake. He also ate noisy potato chips. It was rather distracting.

You tell him to shut up?

I've taken 2 exams at the Canadian Embassy in the last couple months and it's not a guy anymore. It's a lady and she's pretty good. You just show up, pay, take ur test and go. She's not noisy at all. 75,000 won for 3 hours and if you need to courier the exam back its an extra 40,000 and they do it all for you.

I am a invigilator for Athabasca University. My University is Yongin University though so if that is nearby give me a shout.

Didn't I see the Invigilator take on CM Punk at Summer Slam?

Well, with a vocabulary of around 5-600,000 words, it's easily concievable that we have opportunities to learn new English words every day. But I would have guessed that the definition of this word would have included the phrase "D cell batteries".

I have the same problem too, and I just emailed the Director in Canadian Embassy. She told me the Invigilator service will ended at 31st Mar next year. So if you have exams later than that date, then she won't be able to help you.

Did you find anyone to help you? I am looking for one desperately.
