  5. Hi itsmejuli

    Yes I did. But It doesn't say much about it. there is an email link for inquiry. but i would like to hear from somebody who experienced it.

    That's a bit of a long shot, John. There won't be many IENs who have moved from Saskatchewan to Alberta. I would guess that CLPNA will want an English proficiency test result that is less than 2 years old, no matter where one has been working.

    Every Province has different requirements for IEN's. From what a couple of IEN's at work told me, they have higher requirements for registration in AB. You would be best to speak directly with CLPNA. Each case is assessed individually. It depends.
