iyon nga rin sabi sakin kaya dun ako nagregister.. pero parang nagbabago ata ang SK kasi ung iba may SEC, parang bridging program. I once emailed them pero sabi nila maghintay ako kasi dami daw applicants, so wala ako magagawa :(

puwede mo try magregister dun kasi in ur first few months sa canada survival jobs naman eh.. marami daw kasi nursing homes sa SK...
May idea ka ba, assuming ayos lahat ng papers mo para sa registration sa Toronto, kung gaano katagal ang ibibigay nila sa iyo para makakuha ng CRNE? Baka lang kasi sayang ang ibabayad ko kapag naayos agad ang registration papers ko for Toronto pero ang immigration papers ko for Canada naman ang magtagal.

AngelJaDe,

When do you plan to go to Canada? After when ka nag-email and how long do they respond? My wife just sent her assessment this week and PRC and school part by next week?
Gumamit ka ba ng BC address or dito sa Pinas? Plano kasi namin mag-land by October hoping that the elgibility will come by that time.
Hello yani,

Actually, kaka submit ko pa lang ng full docs ko sa consultancy firm. Malapit na 120 days ko. April 12 pa dumating yung 1st AOR ko then I got married kaya medyo natagalan. March pa ako nagsubmit ng forms sa CRNBC kasi hinahabol ko that time na hindi abutin ng 1 year yung IELTS ko (kasi required din ng CRNBC na not more than 1 year ang IELTS mo). Nalaman ko lang na nagcharge na sila for my assessment when I checked the available balance ng credit card ko thru phone. I asked the call center agent kung from CRNBC ba yung almost 12k na na charge and he confirmed. Naghintay ako ng acknowledgement man lang thru email pero wala talaga. That's why I emailed CRNBC about my application. Saka pa sila nagreply na na receive na nga nila at maghintay lang daw kasi it would take time for them to assess.

About the eligibility, may kasama ako sa work na nagland early this year. Medyo matagal na siya nagwowork as a nurse pero pina bridging pa rin siya. My sister who is in canada too said the same thing. With the new guidelines (I don't know how new) daw na pinalabas ng CRNBC, pinapa bridging talaga nila halos lahat ng nurses from the Philippines. May exceptions but I don't know the basis. But if you are a Filipino nurse applying from UK or the US, binibigyan nila ng eligibility.

Yung address sa forms nila, dun ko sinend lahat ng hiningi nila. Medyo matatagalan pa talaga kaya inuna ko nang magpa assess kahit wala akong assurance na mabigyan ng visa. (Sana mabigyan. Hehe). So yun.

Kiko, wala ka narin ba bridging program whatsoever? as in u r eligible to take the exam without it? gusto ko kasi magregister din either sa vancouver or toronto.. tagal nung sa saskatchewan, nung oct 2009 pa till now wala pang eligibility :(

and saan sa tingin mo mas madali, sa vancouver or toronto? pareho lang kasi na meron kami distant relative.. landing lang sa vancouver.

one more thing, ilang weeks bago mo natanggap yang forms from CNO? thanks kiko!
ok wait, i am not eligible, i was answering in behalf of bonsai kasi naka-usap ko sya way back. i wasn't eligible because i do not have the enough subjects and i do not have the experience the will satisfy their qualifications. now, cno is making sure that internationally educated nurses will have a tough time. they are protecting those nurses na nag aral dito, and their main argument is that we have only 10 years of basic education while their local nurses went tru 12 years of basic ed.

now, you can check the qualifications on the cno website, kung wala ka nung subject and meron kang experience pwede mong i-appeal yun using your experience as equivalent. pero hindi guaranteed un, nasa cno pa rin ang decision.

about saskatchewan, naku eh most of the people there are aboriginal, yung mga native, tsaka konti lang talaga tao, and according to my friend who is a nurse there, madami na sila nurses dun na pinoy and konti lang population, that explains your eligibility being delayed. u might want to consider alberta or manitoba, medyo maluwag sila sa nurses but vancouver and toronto, medyo mahirap dito... between vancouver nad toronto, toronto na lang kasi mahal cost of living sa vancouver... mag aaral tayo dito... ako from assessment ng nurse i change it to RPN para mgkatrabaho na agad ako.... so i hope i gave you a little idea of how it works, and what province to apply... btw, alberta pays more than any provinces sa nurses..

@ Kikokits, please share the steps (by step) you did on how you obtained the eligibility to take the nursing exam in Canada.

About the IELTS - do we need to take again the exam - Academic?

Thanks. God bless you more.
general training is ok with the CNO, i did not obtain eligibility. pero eto yung step by step:"

1. log in to cno.org
2. request for an assessment for internationally educated nurses
3. send your assessment for with the payment

assessment will take about 12 weeks to complete.
at the assessment level, you do not need ielts yet. pag may eligibility ka na..

E kung Filipino nurse who graduated from a US college pero Associates Degree lang e bibigyan ba nila ng eligibility? Natanong ko lang kasi mas madalas ngayon, kadalasan sa mga Canadian provinces, ang hinahanap nila ay iyong may mga Bachelor's Degree.
