    (I asked if the NCLEX-RN would have to be re-written again, once I move back to Canada. I am a dual citizen, CDN USA and obtaining my nursing education and license in Texas....)

    This was the response I received:

    As we are in the early stages of developing the NCLEX-RN exam for use in Canada, I cannot give you a definitive answer at this point. What I can tell you is that it is quite likely that as of January 2015, the NCLEX-RN exam will be accepted as meeting the entry to practice exam requirement whether written in Canada or USA. If you write the NCLEX-RN exam in the USA PRIOR to January 2015, it MAY not be accepted for registration in British Columbia and you MAY be required to write the NCLEX-RN in Canada. I'm sorry that I cannot provide you with more information at this time. As mentioned, it is still quite early in the process and such details have not been confirmed. My suggestion is to monitor the CRNBC and CCRNR (Canadian Council of Registered Nurse Regulators) for future updates.

    And Scoobygang.... Make sure to apply (permanent residence, citizenship, work permit) to Canada Immigration ASAP.
    The process is painstakingly drawn out and slow.
    BEST OF LUCK!!

    Thanks for sharing this. So as of now, no one can really tell for sure. We'll just have to wait on what it'll be in the next years to come.
