Prior Evidence If you have already written a qualifying IQ test, you may be eligible for membership in Mensa Canada without having to write our entrance examination. Just follow these steps:
Note: If the test was given by an individual psychologist, it must include the full name of the test, the score and percentile rank. This documentation must be on institution / agency / clinic letterhead and signed by the psychologist responsible for the testing, along with the psychologist's license / certification number issued by the province / state in which the psychologist practices. Note: The name on the documentation must match the name on the application. If it is different for some reason, documentation must be included. For example, a notarized copy of a social insurance card, marriage license or court records to show a new married name. Put your official test results, and the $25 evaluation fee (cheque or money order) into an envelope, along with your current mailing address, and send it to: Mensa Canada Once the verification is complete, you will be invited to join our society, and the first year's membership dues of $60 will be payable at that time. |
