It's much easier to write CRNE in the province where you applied, register and then transfer I think.

Canada doesn't have reciprocity exactly. It is possible to become licensed in more than one province once you've passed the CRNE. But... BIG but... you still have to meet the province's requirements fro registration. Each province looks at things from their own perspectives and some provinces have tougher requirements than others. Just because you're eligible to write the CRNE and obtain registration in Nova Scotia doesn't automatically mean you'll be eligible in New Brunswick. And even if an IEN has been registered in one province it doesn't always follow that they could be registered in another. You still have to go through the new province's registration process and have your credentials assessed, pay the fees and all the rest. Even nurses who were educated in Canada who are life-long Canadian citizens have to undergo the credentials assessment, pay the fees, do the waiting and all the rest. It makes no financial sense to have multiple registration applications pending. You can't just throw a dart at the map and pick a place to live and work that way. These decisions are immense and the repercussions of making the wrong choice are monumental. Make sure you know what you're doing.

As Silverdragon allready suggested you should really read the threads that are discussing immigrating and working in Canada, your questions are all answered there.
And I actually would appreciate if you could write in proper english like you instead of u, maybe I'm old fashioned, but I'm having a hard time reading your posts.

thank you

Got an answer for this. I'm glad I emailed the college of brunswick. Reciprocity is only allowed once you passed CRNE in one province. I wonder if this is also applicable in BC.

Thank you for your reply sir.

If you pass the exam and obtain a practice permit in one province, then decide to move to another province (any province) you need to apply to the provincial college of the new province, pay a truckload of cash, provide the required documents and references and wait. I once waited nearly five months to be approved to work in another province.

really? So do you think it's better if I reapply through reciprocity or really reapply for assessment?

Once you passed CRNE and are registered, you can apply as an out of province applicant.
They will assess your application and then you see. I would imagine it's a bit more straightforward when you are allready registered in Canada somewhere, but it still takes time and money, quite expensive I find and still relatively lengthy.
Why did you apply in NS when you don't want to work there??

lenjoy03 has applied to New Brunswick not Nova Scotia. And there isn't really reciprocity in Canada. Each application is assessed based on the province's standards, even when you've already registered in another province. Whereas Province A might still accept a diploma for entry to practice Province B won't and therefore having registration in Province A won't guarantee anything in Province B. Same idea with SEC. If Province A doesn't have SEC and Province B does, you might still have to do SEC even though you're already registered in Province A. Is that making sense?
