hello everyone! been a while...
reydon123, congratulations sayo! i know the stress of waiting and i'm sure you must be so happy finally dumating na ang eligibility mo... sana kami din palarin gaya mo... ;D ;D ;D when did you submit your BET to the college?
regarding the confusion on why some got their verification for employment forms while the others did not, it would probably guide us better if we indicate at the end of our posts whether we applied for RPN or RN registration...
if i'm not mistaken, faithyou, Gdragon and prinsipe are RPN applicants... that is probably why there were no verifications for employment included with the forms the CNO sent you... faithfully hopeful has an RN application... so does paulferrer and me...
paulferrer, RPN and RN simultaneous applications are allowed... and you need not submit copies of TOR and verification of registration again IF YOU ALREADY HAVE AN ON-GOING RN assessment with the college... yung docs mo na sinubmit for RN assessment is what they will use for your RPN assessment as well...
CarribRN, so happy to see you here... we can all learn a lot from your experiences and inputs... thank you for gracing our thread ;D ;D ;D are you already in canada?
nielz, congratulations on getting your RPN eligibility... i suggest you sit for the exam when you get to canada as an immigrant already... you would not finish your registration unless you provide proof of citizenship, permanent residency or working visa... kasama ito sa requirement nila for final registration... hindi gaya sa ibang states ng amerika na basta ipasa mo lang si NCLEX-RN or NCLEX-PN, licensed ka na... ang board of cali nga recently naghigpit sa SIN requirement nila... kaya nagpa endorse ang madami sa Vermont...
if i remember it right, you are given 4 years to schedule your exam with the college once you get your eligibility... you can confirm this with the CNO... so you have that much time to apply as a Federal Skilled Worker... i have read different blogs profusely and learned that passing the CRNE or CRPNE does not help in applying for an immigrant visa... unless you get to canada, and find a way to stay there legally, all your efforts to have yourself registered will just be in vain... sayang pera at pagod kung hindi mo din sya magagamit...
please don't think i am trying to dampen your spirits... i am trying to do the opposite... i want you to see that this takes planning and time... both of which are at your disposal... madami kasi ako kilala, nasasayang lang ang pagod at pera... dahil kulang sa planning... tapos tatamarin na... maya maya, nag give up na... iba ang process ng canada compared sa US... sa US, para ka ma petition ng isang employer, you are a shoo-in if you already passed your exams (NCLEX and IELTS/TOEFL)... sa canada, you go through their FSW application and satisfy those first... walang bearing sa kanila if you already passed your CRNE of CRPNE dahil hindi ka naman makakakuha ng license to practice UNLESS you provide proof of citizenship, permanent residency or work permit...
so this answers someone's question why i recommend to commence registration when you get to the medical stage of your FSW application... ito naman ay sa point of view ko lang... BUT ANYONE WHO WISHES TO APPLY FOR REGISTRATION MAY DO SO AT ANY TIME THEY DEEM NECESSARY... sa akin lang, para wag lang masayang ang pera at panahon... dahil kung walang way na makakakuha ng permanent residency status or working visa, futile na din magpa assess...
so focus your energy on getting that permanent resident visa by applying as an FSW or working visa... mas maganda kung makahanap ka ng offer of work employment as this will make the process easier for you...
i wish you the best and i hope to meet you in canada someday ;D
