hi poohbear! i just have queries regarding the LPN's there in Canada. I'm from Philippines, a registered nurse and I applied for an LPN position in a consultant agency last December, 2009. I completed my immigrant application papers and I'm still waiting.I also took up the IELTS exam and got an overall band of 7.5 to complete their requirement.They told me that I still need to be registered in their province (Edmonton, Alberta) before I can work there as a licensed practical nurse. I just want to know how long will it take before they can approved the application? and I am kinda' in doubt if the company I applied in can be trusted, i mean if the application process they are doing is similar with yours? Also, when are they going to ask me to process my visa application?

I'm quite confuse. Should you have same situation, please reply.

poohbear,

LPNs and RNs are on the "list of 38 occupations" that can qualify for PR regardless of employment status, as long as you have 1 year of continuous full-time employment experience in that occupation within the past 10 years.

There would be one advantage to finding permanent, full-time employment - you would not have to show "proof of settlement funds" to apply.

Hello lady_lee

There is no problem with your application with your agency, the problem would be right now i think is if there is available job for your position here in edmonton alberta, I say these because right now all the filipinos LPN here are having problems for their work permit to be renewed because the government of alberta has no work for their own graduates so they are thinking of not renewing soon to expire work permits, If possible that you get approved here is that they would let you have a two weeks study here so that you'll be a registered LPN and take some courses aferwards to be able to be considered a graduate nurse and challenge the exam to be an RN, believe me its difficult right now here in edmonton because there are so many filipino nurses that might be going home because Alberta is not renewing their work permit
