This is a problem that almost everyone has. NNAS takes forever and blames it on the applicant, and then they turn around and say it only takes them a few months to do the Advisory Report. Not true! Once your documents are all received and your file is ready for review it could be anywhere from 3-8 months, but most likely about 5 months. They are very slow and don't have the staff to do the assessments, since they have so many to review. And, they are not nurses who review the file. They are American, non-nurses, who are assessing how close your nursing education is to a Canadian nursing education (notice how you send all documents to Philadelphia in the USA?
It's a terrible process--you aren't alone.
Please send a complaint to the Office of the Fairness Commissioner in Ontario, or the equivalent in the province you would like to work in as a nurse.
