Why oh why would you want to use an agency when you can do this on your own and use your money more appropriately.

There are many threads discussing Canada and what you need to be aware on is a few things

Canada is a huge place so where do you want to live and work?

Many provinces are having staff issues and nurses are moving provinces for work so finding a employer when you have no experience I think will be very hard.

Suggest a good read in this forum and starting point would be

FAQ for Canada: Substantially Equivalent Competence (SEC) Assessments - Nursing for Nurses

FAQ: The Canadian Registered Nurse Examination (CRNE) - Nursing for Nurses

***Internationally Educated Nurses: VERY IMPORTANT - READ THIS FIRST*** - Nursing for Nurses

i was doubtful with the info given by the agency....

a friend of mine, the one who is working in that agency said that the agency will be the one to process everything

give us the specific info as to where we will be working and the place where will be staying and also will provide us an employer..s0 all we hav to do is to follow the instructions given by the agency,......but i guess this is a scam...:(

like to clarify this issue,first if you are applying for an immigrant visa as a nurse and reach the 67 pts the you can migrant here, but to work here as a registered Canadian registered then you have to be pass the CNA exam which is more difficult than the immigration process,in short Immigration and CNA are two different and independent office.There are many nurses here(filipinos,swiss,nigerian,british) who the follow same process no more no less, so many nurses here have to work as nursing aides while they are still on the process of getting their license.What fiona and jan are saying in this site are true and could be sometimes depressing but a reality check for all nurses who wants to work here,even if you pass the CNA exam your nursing experience in your home country comes in to place because nursing jobs are getting difficult to get.

My advice while applying for your immigrant visa, submit your papers for assessment at the provincial nursing board of your choice.Canada wants us to work and succeed in our profession and we owe this to them.

Agencies don't make it any faster to work in Canada. Everyone has to follow the same paperwork and procedures when it comes to PR and work permit (depends which route you take) for Canada.

You still have to pass CRNE to work as a RN here in Canada and for many IEN's regardless on where they are from we are seeing that some form of assessment is required to meet college requirements with the province of choice.

you are asking for Canada and NCLEX has nothing to do with Canada. You do have to have a passed NLE to meet Canadian requirements and you will need to sit and pass CRNE if you want to work as a nurse in Canada, there is no way round it

Now you really are confusing me, if you know NCLEX has nothing to do with Canada then I presume you don't really want to work in Canada because the CRNE is a different kettle of fish to the NCLEX

If Canada is really where you want to live and work you are better looking at how the CRNE works and study for that

Yes you still have to sit and pass CRNE to work in Canada. NCLEX is not accepted. You may have problems though finding a employer in Canada if you have no experience. Suggest you read post 122 in this thread especially the link Pinoy care visa center - Page 13- Nursing for Nurses

You need to know that Canadians resent being used as a stepping stone to the US. We'd rather have nurses that WANT to be here and work in our facilities rather than those waiting out retrogression.
