PPL written test validity period

[Zagarino]

Hello,

I have searched the TC and the forums here before i post this, however unfortunately i haven't found anything to answer my question.

I have done my PPL written test back in Aug 2008, just wondering how long is it valid for ? Since i am thinking of doing my flight test now which is a year later. Do i have to re-write the test again ?

This is the only thing i found on the TC website, however it says (Canceled) and has quite an old date on it so I'm not sure if it's valid or not.

From the written test guide:

"Examinations, including all sections of a sectionalized examination, that are required for the issuance of a permit or licence or for the endorsement of a permit or licence with a rating shall be completed during the 24-month period immediately preceding the date of the application for the permit, licence or rating."

It is 2 years.

I'm pretty sure there is a better CAR out there than this but:

Thanks folks. The information you provided is much appreciated.

That means i can go ahead and do my flight test without redoing the written exam again.
