You must first hold full Level V certification with Softball Canada. Then:
- Attend a WBSC International Umpire Seminar within three years of becoming Level V (subject to a seminar being offered in North America).
- Pass the WBSC International Umpire Certification exam.
- Complete a WBSC certification seminar, including fitness and medical requirements.
- Receive a successful WBSC on-field evaluation.
If you do not achieve certification, you reapply to attend another WBSC seminar within three years of the first. If you do not, you must re-qualify at a Men's or Women's fast pitch or Men's slo-pitch Canadian Championship.
