You need to be licensed in your home country before you can apply for registration in Canada.bunso said:Hi,
I am new to this forum. I am a nursing graduates of 2014 in the Philippines a 31 years old female and i want to work in Canada as a nurse or in US. Can you tell me what would be the best step for me to take, because I've heard that even without taking a local board exam only NCLEX would do. Please I need a lot of advice. Thanks

As I continue to work on my research. I found that one of my postings was not up to date. The pass rate for internationally educated nurses has now increased to 70% for those who wrote the exam in 2009. See here http://www.cna-nurses.ca/CNA/documents/pdf/publications/CRNE_Bulletin_April_2010_e.pdf
I still strongly suggest that before you write the exam, you get the CRNE exam study book that have questions and you may want to take exam review courses. Do not take the US exam review course as the exam are very very different.
Sarass, you are welcome.
Thank you,

Can you please delete at least one of your multiple same questions in separate posts.Hii Guys,
I have completed my studies (bachelors and masters in Nursing) from India, currently working in Ireland as a staff nurse for more than 2 yrs, a total experience of 5 yrs, I have already forwarded my application to NNAS ,awaiting their advisory report, Im also awaiting my decision regarding PR through express entry. I would be grateful if anyone can answer my queries regarding nursing registration in Canada
1. which provincincal (province) nursing body is lenient in assessing the credentials, inorder to get the eligibility for Nclex
2. In the meantime, should I apply for LPN also, rather than just waiting for the regulatory bodies to assess my credentials for RN, as I want to start working as early as possible
3. are there any courses that can be attended by IEN's which will eventually bridge the competency gaps, until I wait for the decision from the regulatory bodies
Your question is already old but I happened to get an answer from the College of Nurses of Ontario on this question today (August 12, 2020), so I am posting it for your and everyone else's information:Hi Guys,
