I am also licensed as a nurse in the US, CGFNS and ICHP certified. Yet up to now, I am not receiving a good feedback from any of the health authorities. I am still waiting for 4 more to reply and I will update this site if ever. This is not to discourage applicants but I would just want to inform you about the possibilities after your application. I have been assessed by CRNBC.
kit is very much correct! finding a Canadian employer was a very tough experience in my case. Up to now, I still couldn't believe they accepted me with this a handful of experience (maybe of my constant follow-up and even calling them thru phone). It's just a matter of showing your interest by being honest to them of your purpose working abroad.
Good luck everyone! Just visit this forum if you have questions and we are ready to answer queries to the best we can..
