Examination results are automatically sent to the NEB, with both a pass/fail designation and a scaled score being given for the NAVLE (see Scoring and Score Reports). Each candidate’s pass/fail designation will also be forwarded to the provincial veterinary licensing bodies in Canada.
The NEB also participates in the Veterinary Information Verification Agency (VIVA) of the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB). VIVA is the only official method to transfer scores between Canada and the USA. Candidates wishing to have scores transferred from the United States to Canada must do so through the VIVA, which will send the results to the CVMA. The CVMA forwards scores to provincial veterinary licensing bodies at the request of the candidate. Scores may not be sent directly from the USA to provincial licensing bodies.
Candidates wishing to have NAVLE scores transferred from Canada to the United States must contact the VIVA, indicating which state licensing board is to receive the scores:
