You can apply for registration even without a hospital experience as long as you did not graduate 5 years ago. With this you will also be eligible for temporary supervised registration if a Candian employer will sponsor you. However, you have to fulfill the requirements of the registration, e.g. working at least 250 hours for a candian employer and passing the CRNE examination within 2 years time.
Most BC employers would petition nurses who have at least 2-3 years hospital work experience. This is the biggest hurdle in the registration process with BC. Without at least 250 hours of work with a Candian employer, everything would be uselss and will expire in 2 years time.
Good luck.
