To MaerlyRn,

luckily you guys had already news about the status of your application. take note, i started my papers last march and till now no reply from them. I got already my canadian working visa approval this July but still waiting for my eligibility. If it will take too long before the year ends, i think i'm going to consider my US- H1b visa application. anyways goodluck to both of us.

Which province are you applying to and I find it strange that you got TWP without eligibility as that is usually part of the process? But most provinces take anything from 6 months for eligibility

How did you know about the progress of your application in SRNA? Did you email them or they have an online access to an account?

To silverdragon102,

Thanks for the information, by the way I'm applying my eligibility in SRNA under IENs. It's not really strange if someone got his/her working visa because some officers in the CIC does not require CRNE eligibility. As long as someone filed thier documents in CIC (like for example: LMO, signed contract, medical exams etc.) they will issue a visa. I think that I'm not the only one here who got a visa while waiting for an eligibility. Thanks again for the information, I hope that I will receive my eligibility its been 4 months of waiting. :wink2:

The CIC procedures and outcomes seem to vary from person to person and embassy to embassy. I've met people who came to Ontario as "skilled workers" and brought their families as Permanent Residents of Canada who only had the first CNO letter acknowledging their application. The worst part is that some of those nurses haven't being able to go through the whole process to be deemed exam eligible and are now employed in mostly manual positions. For someone who wants to come to Canada no matter what this is a good opportunity, but for a nurse who wants to be a Nurse, this is getting stuck.

Immigration authorities seem to be divorced from Canadian reality when it comes to allow people to immigrate or not to immigrate, isn't that the question???

Sorry if I got a little out of topic, I haven't being to Sask, so I don't know if they have the same situation there, just my :twocents: related to ON.

But a lot of hospitals do not want to risk taking on a IEN who has not got eligibility from the college and waste money getting a LMO and without LMO you will not get a TWP. Generally you have a certain amount of time (off top of my head can't think if it is 6 or 12 months) to activate TWP so if you are still in home country waiting for eligibility from college and it take longer then TWP will expire and you have to start over again and make more payments

To Silverdragon102,

I'm pretty much sure that I'm not the one who will make more payments as I've said my principal employer was Regina Qu'Apelle Health Region. If everything will expire soon, RQHR will probably start all over again- getting the LMO, visa application etc. Ok! for your reply messages and efforts to answer questions- Kudos for you......:yeah:I love this thread.

I have not heard from SRNA since I they have acknowledge my application to them. I only applied in SRNA. I don't have an agency yet. May I ask what is your agency? So I can also try to apply to them. Thanks

nursemich, you don't need an agency.

Wait for SRNA and see if you are eligible to write CRNE, when you got your eligibility apply for a job. What experience do you have?

Hi nursemich,

5cats is right you don't need an agency but if you really want to have you can inquire in Mercan, EDI Staffbuilders, IPAMS and Apex. Try to search their contact numbers in the web. Are you located in Manila because if you are it will be much easier for you to visit their ( I mean the agencies) place. I believed that those agencies does not have placement fees. If you have the necessary hospital experience and of course the eligibility from SRNA there is no reason they will not accept your application. Goodluck to you.
