Nclex - Minnesota


Hello,
I'm planning to write NCLEX.
I already applied through Minnesota and registered to take NCLEX with Pearson yesterday.
However, I read from NCLEX for Visa Screen that the applicant has to send a copy of the completed ICHP/CGFNS VisaScreen application with "CGFNS ID #" after examination registration process with Pearson.

Do Canadian nurses need to go through the process of ICHP/CGFNS?
I thought that after applying through Minnesota and registering to take nclex, Canadian nurses can take nclex without processing the ICHP/CGFNS visaScreen.
I thought that ICHP visa screen is required after passing nclex exam.

I'm so confused now.
If you have any info, could you please help me?

I appreciate your help.

You need to have a Visa Screen Certificate to work in the US now. They just want to see a copy of the completed application. You haven't been reading any other threads here apparently, Canadian nurses are aloso required to have a Visa Screen Certificate to work in the US. You are definitely not exempt from this requirement. Since it can take months to get, I highly advise that you complete the paperwork as quickly as possible. I would submit the paperwork before you even take the exam, or you will definitely be playing the waiting game.............It takes about four months after you complete the NCLEX exam, before you will receive the certificate.
