I was quite disappointed to find out today from my recruiter,who is actually my employer that Vancouver has confirmed that they have stopped hiring IENs.I am currently in the process of completing my requirements but I have to cancel my SEC assesment on May this year.My initial application and exams plus interviews took place last february 2009.I have read some threads regarding SEC assessment in Canada,coz I was curious why SEC assessment has come as a new requirement.I had the feeling that it is just a perfect excuse to politely discourage new applicants to carry on with their application as you will have to spend money to do this and mainly because of the recession issue that the whole world is facing.Ofcourse, they have to prioritize their own nurses for the jobs,which is fair enough..I am not against SEC assessment but now, it gives me the impression of its real purpose.To those aspiring to come to Vancouver BC,specially those who have booked their SEC assessment date,you might as well ask your employer to confirm your job in case you have done well with your SEC requirement.I also have friends who applied to come to Alberta, who had completed their requirements,have got the job offer but then cancelled their jobs and did not give them any idea why it had happened.So it seems to be happening all over the states of Canada.I have read that a lot are aspiring nurses from the Philippines talking about financial constraints.Just sharing what my recruiter has told me,so please be aware.
I have received a letter from CRNBC and asks me to take a SEC assessment in General area .Is there anyone can tell me how to prepare for that ?What will happen if I fail the assessment ?I just do not understand the procedures.Thanks a lot for anyone who can tell me more about that .

The answers are in the stickies. Click on the highlighted text in my last post and you'll be taken to the threads. Trust me, almost all of your questions have been answered at least once.
It's a case of "if you can't work out the stickies, you'll never be able to pass the exams". It's not a trick, just basic reading, research, and thinking skills.
