BSN Graduate in the Philippines (only), no work experience and did not take the board exam

[MsBrazil]

So here's my story. I finished/graduated my nursing in the philippines moved here in canada 3 years ago and now i want to study again and pursue my nursing career. I did not took the liscensure examination because when i graduated our papers coming in canada has already been approved.

I'm applying for the NNAS and got stock in the Registration ( C, D and E ) i don't know what to fill on those blanks and that's what delaying me on submitting my application.

Can anyone please help me. I'm really confused and that's been keeping me from finishing my application. And i'm being frustrated because my mom always reminds me on finishing my application.

I really need help. Please....

I suggest checking the college's requirements as usually a local license from where you trained is also part of the requirement

Problem is i did not take the licensure exam because i don't have enough time. I'm just graduated from BSN.

The policy of the Canadian colleges of Nursing has been how can you be a nurse in Canada if you aren't licensed in your country of education? The trend for years have been is that you need your local license. Saying you didn't have enough time to take the licensing exam after 4 year BSN won't matter to the College or NNAS as you will be deemed ineligible for a Canadian nursing license if you do not have a nursing license from the country where you earned your degree. As there isn't much of a shortage of new inexperienced nurses it's unlikely the College will waiver the requirement.

if you are determined to earn a Canadian RN license consider returning to the Philippines to take and pass the NLE
