how to process for the CRNE & CRNBC & their requirements

Updated Oct 20, 2009 at 02:08 AM by sephine

I'm a filipino nurse with almost a year of hospital experience. i'm planning to apply for the skilled worker visa for Canada and if granted, i'd be living there in vancouver with my aunt for the mean time.

Ive read that to be a registered nurse in canada, I need to pass the CRNE and also be registered with the CRNBC to practice nursing in vancouver area.

so guys, which should be done first? the CRNE or the CRNBC?
how do they differ?

Should i start processing them by the time i land in Canada or while im still here in the Philippines?

You guys know how much would the CRNE and CRNBC processing would cost?

any idea on the matter would be greatly appreciated. THanks guys!



OOPS! SOrry guys, failed to read the stickies...

Moved to the International forum as per the red banner.

Seeing your comment about stickies I presume you have read them and now aware the you can only do CRNE once you receive eligibility from CRNBC so suggest starting point is with them

As for the expenses, I would expect to pay $500-$600 for assessment fees, travel costs for SEC (if needed) and writing the CRNE, $600 for the exam itself and then $450 for your registration. I'm not sure but I think international recruitment for BC has slowed way down, so you may have trouble finding work once you've jumped through all those hoops. The cost of living on the lower mainland is really high, so make sure you do your research before you make any irrevocable decisions.

I'm not from your country but I think this could apply: don't come to Canada before all your documents are received by the College you're applying to; it's easier for you to complete all those outstanding requirements while still in your country of education. Remember that sometimes they still need additional info to complete your assessment
