oh, its been a while...hows my fellow nurses from this forum.?well guys, just rcvd my aor last oct 5,documents reached cio aug 12.
Im on process now of gathering second set of my documents to embassy manila, after submission, i plan to start with licensure process.
got some questions, especially to those who have started process for licensure or to those who have kind hearts to answer my queries...
1. I plan to apply for licensure in Ontario because most of my relatives are there.my problem is, Ontario requires us to be immigrants first before they consider me for eligibility.that means i cant be able to look for work immediately upon getting there because i have to wait for processing times.
2. Correct me if i am wrong, In alberta and mannitoba, a nurse may start application for licensure along with PR application, and if granted eligibility, can start working as graduate nurse in those 2 territories until she decides to sit for the exam.
3. If for example I plan to apply for eligibility in Manitoba and then evaluated and need to take SEC assessment or any other bridging program, is that eligibility good for mannitoba only? or it apply to all onther territory untill i decide to take licensure in one specific territory?
4. Unlike in the US that after passing NCLEX, i had the chance to endorse my license in other states anytime, is it true in canada that we need to practice nursing for 3 years before we can have license endorsed?
thanks a lot. hoping for ur response fellow nurses...
