Hi Aspire,
Just wanted to know when did you take your nursing licensure exam here? was being licensed nurse here helps in the assessement, or should be a board passer as one of the requirement? Thanks.
As per my research, in order to practice as a nurse in Canada, one must have:
1. License as a nurse from her/his home country and/or license from other countries outside Canada other than from your home country
2. At least one year experience as a nurse from home country or from countries outside of Canada
3. With educational credentials, equivalent to that of Canadian standards.
4. Eligibilty approval from the nursing regulating body of the province you are applying
5. Pass the CRNE exam.
6. Canadian experience of at least a year.
You need requirements 1-3 to get 4 and you need 4 to be eligible to sit for the CRNE + at least a year of Canadian experience before they will issue the license as a RN.
I took my PRC licensure exam in 1990. PRC license is not needed for educational credential assessment but is one of the requirements for CRNE eligibility registration. IQAS will assess your primary, secondary and your bachelors degree if it is equivalent to that of the Canadian standards. IQAS assessment is one of the requirements.
I am applying for Manitoba nursing registration. Requirements may vary depending on the province.
