Hello! Am a nurse myself working on getting my license here in Canada and same time sponsoring my hubby from Philippines. Allnurses.com re:international nursing is a must check-out to get some ideas on how to apply for canadian nursing licensure. Also, every province has it's own licensing body kaya dapat check it out too. SRNA (Saskatchewan) and CARNA (Alberta) just to name a few. There's a lot of infos frome their websites that we IENs (internationally educated nurses) can use. Assessment for IENs takes a long time, i meant a loooonnng time, kaya even if you guys are still in Philippines or wherever, start getting your papers assessed na. Then waiting time won't be too long once landed in Canada. English exams: you can do IELTS or CELBAN ( there are other options too, just can't remember all of it). Although CELBAN is only offered in Canada, however it's far easier than IELTS in my opinion and it relates to our profession (nurse).Hope it helps. :)
hi..
ask ko lng if celban ang kinuha mong exam?and what are your preparation.because im planning to take celban nalng if wer going to canada next month,since you prefer na easier..thank you.

oo sis ang layo ng travwl from manila,magastos hehe

sis d2 ka na magtake sa pinas. My bestfriend took ielts sa canada,hindi nia nameet ung scores na required,and most na nakilala niang nkapasa sa pinas na ngielts nun nagretake sa canada mababa din daw scores. or pwedw din dahil kaya mababa score di sila nkapagrview masyado.
Kaya sis opinion ko lang and suggestion na d2 kna mag take kasi malaki ung chance na makakuha ka ng high Score.
KAYA NATEN TO :))

korek ka dyan, spend time with fam muna.. talagang mamimiss mo ang mga nakasanayan mo ng makasama everyday once andito ka na..

hehehe... nasale pa ako sa usapan... hahaha
mga sis gusto ko na rin itake ang IELTS ko pero im not that prepared kasi sabi nila masmahirap na raw ang reading ngyon and also listening... if my visa will come earlier than my target exam date then i won't be able to take the exam here. My husband had let me go review to kill the time of waiting... mejo depress na kasi ako dito sa bahay kakahintay... ok naman yung review sched ko kasi i can come home before lunch to have a little talk to my husband then balik nanaman for the afternoon...walking distance lang kasi... Since Canadian po yung asawa ko mejo we are expecting for now na matatagalan pa ung visa because most of the couples here na nagkakavisa are both Filipinos. We are not concluding pero parang ganon ang trend eh and we understand if embassy is like that to avoid marriage fraud, kaya yun, though we are hopeful and positive parin naman... :)

Hi prayer sword, buti nga nakakaattend ka, ako gang listening to cds, reading, talking to myself infront of a mirror and writing. My friend took the exam last january unfortunately she didnt pass the speaking category so she has to review again maybe makakasabay ko sya sa apr 21- tentative lang yan sis. Take muna daw ako kht minsan dito if swertehin dito vwry good pra les stres pagdating don (hopfully makarating haha) sna pantay pantay nlng processing di ung pag both fil eh mas mabilis, paunahan na ngayon eh pansin ko trend, ewan ba nakakalungkot lng kc may mga iba juky aug sept ect wla pa mga visa imagine that samantalang ung iba late pa nagsubmit papers eh nagkavisa! Nakakasakit ng bangs! Anyway, sna maging ok lahat papers natin ng mksama na natin partners natin and sana maging successful tau don sa profesion natin sis. Sarap lng mangarap ;)
