Philippine Nurse going to Canada

To work in Canada they would have to pass the Canadian exam which is offered I believe only 3 times a year, NCLEX will have no bearing. They will have to meet requirement of the province they apply to, suggest a search and read in this forum as plenty has been written on what to do

They need to apply for licensure to the province that they are interested in working in, links are at the top of this forum.

And as mentioned above, the exam is pencil and paper and is only given three times per year and in Canada. You cannot write it anywhere else.

And then there is the immigration process to go thru, it is not instant.

There are a lot of similar threads on this forum. There's a very efficient search feature in the upper right corner of your screen. Have a look and I'm sure you'll find the answers to your questions.

hi,
it depends which province in Canada you prefer to practice your profession. After deciding, read the website of the chosen province and check how is the assessment will go. You can use your IELTS for your assessmnet but your NCLEX will be useless in Canada. You need to pass the CRNE and it will be 3x a year only.
hope this can help.

if you choose ONTARIO,,YOU WILL GO BACK TO SCHOOL FOR 2YRS,VERY DISAPPOINTING,,NURSING DEGREE IN THE PHILS IS EQUIVALENT TO NURSING DIPLOMA HERE IN ONTARIO,,

May I gently remind members that it is poor Netiquette to type your entire post in capital letters? It is considered to be shouting, and conveys anger or disgust. By all means use capitals to emphasize a point, but please, not the whole post.

Standards for nursing education in Canada have evolved in response to changes in society, the acuity level of patients in hospital and to health care in general. They are intended to protect both the public and the nurse and therefore cannot be compromised. They are what they are, which is why each IEN has his or her nursing education assessed and any shortfalls identified so they may be corrected before the nurse will be eligible for licensure in Canada. If you are unwilling or unable to go through the process, that's up to you, but please don't blame Canada.

hi!..im planning to apply as a nurse in ontario.. if what you are saying is true that i have to go back to nursing chool for 2 years, can i at least work as a LPN while studying to become an RN there?..thanks!..

No, it's not likely that you'd be able to work as an LPN in Canada while you upgrade your education. The licensure process for LPNs is very similar to that of the RN, and your education, registration and work experience would still have to be evaluated by the province of your choice. If found acceptable then yo would have to write and pass the Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Examination. For more information go here: http://www.cno.org/international_en/..._edu/index.htm

What nursing opportunities would be open for those who are working to upgrade their education? Can we work as nursing auxiliaries or aides?
