CNO Registration

Pediatric Critical Care Columnist · Mar 12, 2010

Hi All,
Need Help,
I have just got my PR visa and planning to move to Toronto,
A week back i have requested for Application Package to CNO to complete the registration,
Right now i am in India and planning to send all the documents to CNO before i move from India,
Do you know how long it will take to get the Application Package in India ( approximate time )?

That's a very difficult question to answer. It will depend on whether it was sent air mail or surface mail. Then it depends on how it's handled once it reaches India. It could take anywhere from a week to a month.

what is the normal time to get the clearance from CNO to write CRNE because I have a plan to write CRNE in Oct 2010?

That too is very difficult to answer because it depends on a number of factors. The school you were trained at will have to send in your transcripts, the licensing body that issued you with your license will have to send in their verification of your licensure, your education will have to be assessed... there are dozens of steps in the assessment process. It might take six months for all the I's to be dotted and T's to be crossed. You can't apply to write the CRNE until you have the approval to test from CNO, and the deadline for the October exam will be sometime around the beginning of July. You may not be ready to write by October. I'd be very surprised if everything could be done in the time before the application deadline.

hi janfrn,

thanks for the information and quick response,

just to add on to the second question,

once i get the application package i am planning to meet all the authorities personaly (college, previous employer and nursing registration board) so that i can request them to send form b and transcripts without any delay. once they send all the docs i am planning to land in canada.

need your expert advice on this.

thanks in advance.:)

Hi janfrn

One more question, would it be possible to collect the Application Package from CNO, Toronto directly, becuase i have a friend who is living in toronto but i have already put a request through CNO website.

Thanks,

Regards,

RJ

There's no reason at all why your friend couldn't go to the CNO office and pick up a package for you. Even if you've already requested a package be sent, they're not likely to put the two things together and even if they do, it's not a big deal. You'd definitely have more control over how it's sent and how quickly you get it.
