You do not need to be registered in Canada as an RN/LPN to qualify for immigration. As long as you are an RN/LPN in your country with at least one year of continuous experience and you meet the required points for immigration then you can start your application. Read the CIC website. You will...

True. Not the case 5 months ago as we were able to apply for registration in Ontario with the CNO and we are based overseas. However, I have heard stories lately that they started asking the applicants for proof of citizenship or landed immigrant status. So true.

Yes. Only those with BSN can become a nurse in Canada. to become an RN? NO. If your FSW is not approved yet and you do not have a tourist visa then there is no way for you to get the exam. In my opinion, I think it is better if you wait for the approval of your visa first before you apply...

You do not need the NCLEX to be able to sit for CRNE. You also will not be able to take it with just the diploma. You need to have a BSN degree to qualify to take the CRNE. It is only offered in Canada and not available elsewhere.

You do not need NCLEX for Canada; that is only for the US. What you need is CRNE if you want to practice as an RN in Canada. Everyone has to take the CRNE before they can practice; nursing is a regulated profession so there is no exception.

At least somebody posted the correct information. It always pays to read the CIC website.

Must be a typographical error on the part of the writer. Indeed it should say "NO" record. It is most likely this one though. They have received your application but was sent back to you due to incomplete information.

no need to have it certified. just a clear copy of your passport will do. Handwritten or typewritten application form doesn't make a difference as well with regards to the approval time. Mine is handwritten and I got the CIO approval in less than two months as well. Approval time really...

MOM45, Totally not true. Job offer is not required as long as you have one year of continuous job experience under the 38 qualified positions.

if your other work experience within the last 10 years is under NOC classification 1, A and B, this is aside from the 38 approved job titles under the Ministerial Instruction of November 2008, then you can be given a credit point for that too.

mdarji: Really? They did not ask us to provide those when we applied to them last April. I guess this is an additional in their application requirements as I have heard some foreign nurses have been approved after applying for registration but cannot actually get a tourist visa to Canada to sit...

You need to have a BSN degree to be able to practice as an RN in Canada. Before ,they allow diploma holders from other countries to register as an RN but all that changed in 2005. They introduced a new rule that requires all applicants for RN registration to be a graduate of BSN degree...

I really hope the immigration officer who will handle my case will accept my Academic IELTS result. I just got the result today. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Dyuls: Consultants are not immigration officials. I suggest you do your readings directly on the CIC website. They just told you that because it would be somehow easier if your job description is exactly the same as that mentioned in the CIC list. But as I've said, job description is more...

Dyuls: Correction, the job title doesn't necesarrily have to be in the NOC list. More than the job title, job description should be the major focus of consideration when applying under FSW.

mdarji: Disregard your US RN license and the process on how you got it when applying for a Canadian license; these are two completely different things. Canada has its own pathway for nursing licensure. Char_bonel: Credential Evaluation is a mandatory requirement of some States in the US...

You need to be registered with any of the Nursing Authority in Canada first before you can apply and work as a registered nurse in Canada.

Yes. We need to study again for the bridging program... but that is only if the CNO decides that your curriculum is not matched with theirs. We cannot work as an RN while doing the bridging program, however, you can opt to register as an LPN so that you can work (as an LPN) while doing your...

RN here too. Have applied for registration with CNO. Aside from the normal assessment that they do they also asked me and my friend to complete a competency equivalency form ( 7 long essays) to know if we have the competencies needed for a foreign applicant to begin their practice in Ontario...

Saunders CRNE reviewer and the one from the CNA. Will you be taking the CRNE already?
