RECOMMENDATION PROCESS

Fee payment must be made within 90 days of the recommendation date or CTC will cancel the recommendation. A few days after making your payment, CTC will forward a payment confirmation number to you. Provided that there are no extenuating circumstances, CTC will then send you an e-mail confirming that the credential has been granted.
