Hi,
The SEC is Substantially Equivalent Competency (SEC) Assessment
Under new legislation in Alberta — the Health Professionals Act (HPA) — CARNA may require Internationally Educated Nurses to have a Substantially Equivalent Competency (SEC) assessment completed.

Is this the assessment for international nurses coming into Canada? If it is I just finished. I'm just double checking Nova Scotia aparently uses different terminology. When I did it they set up a time with me. They did a battery of tests written oral and clinical. Whole thing took a week about 36 hours total. You should be recieving a phone number/email or address of the people doing the assessment if you applied to sit CRNA's.

Hi if you applied with CARNA, I recommend you to check the site below, It's the website of Mount Royal College, they are the institution that gives SEC in Alberta (please note implementing institution is different in other provinces). It is available 5 days a week, except holidays. You can have your schedule by contacting Mount Royal College and it depends on the availability of your preferred date.

Nova Scotia have started doing it. BC I think does it and probably see others do it or something similar. A lot will depend on transcripts and training
