Document Verification: What to Bring
The screening exercise includes physical verification of all credentials submitted during the online application. CDCFIB has warned candidates to ensure that every detail in their application matches their original documents.
Any discrepancy between submitted information and original credentials may result in immediate disqualification.
Candidates should bring:
