3.03. Notwithstanding paragraphs a of section 3.01 and b of section 3.02, if the diploma which is the subject of an application for equivalence has been obtained 5 years or more before such application, the equivalence may be refused if the knowledge acquired by the candidate no longer corresponds, due to developments in the profession, to what is being presently taught.
However, the equivalence must be recognized if the pertinent work experience of the candidate and the training he has been able to acquire since, have enabled him to attain the required level of knowledge.
