Canada requires a higher score in the writing section as well.

SUZANNE heres the acceptable passing score for canada. it didnt state that it require higher score for writing. ok

The IELTS tests listening, reading, speaking and writing for

English proficiency. The minimum test score required is an

overall score of 6.5 with a score of 7 on the speaking test and

no score less than 6.

Each province will set their own standards.

Please remember you can give your opinion but personal attacks against any members will not be tolerated.

suzanne4, RN · Oct 18, 2008

Sorry, but there is an issue that it is going to be hard to get hired without at least a 7.0 on the writing section and this is what really counts.

The minimum results that are listed for a country are not necessarily what an employer wants to see.

suzanne4, RN · Oct 18, 2008

One should be selecting a country based on it being their first choice of where to work, not because it is the only one that will accept them. Canadians are tired of their country being selected as a second or third choice.

Each is entitled to their opinion as I am entitled to mine.

thank you so much for the reply. i appreciate the effort. good luck:yeah:

Please read the new sticky that I created this evening. This applies directly in cases like this.

Best of luck to you.

It would much more sense to spend a few months and bring your writing scores up higher. It will make it easier for you to get hired. Remember that a facility can set their requirements higher, and most of them do.

Please have a good read on the Canadian forum and there are multiple posts about this very same thing from Canadians that actually live and were born there. This is their sentiment as well.

Canada still does not have unlimited visas available, they never have and never will. This is a big misconception that many have, even concerning Australia and New Zealand.

American employers are still going to the Philippines, even though there is minimum of five year wait for a green card. Having an employer go to a country does not tell you anything about what is happening in a place. We also see those from those schools in the UK go to the Philippines and try to recruit for someone to complete a second Bachelor's degree with all sort of promises; but the fact remains that one cannot remain in the UK to work when they are done. And while they are there, they are paid at poverty level wages and work only as a caregiver.

And if you take the time to read, you will see that the majority that are going to Canada are not actually going as an RN, but will be working in the role of the LPN. They have three attempts at passing the CRNE, or have to leave the country.

Thread closed since question has been answered.

Welcome

Moved to the International forum as per the red banner.

Immigration goes on a lot more that looking at English language and experience although having experience is a big plus. It will depend on your training and what the province requires as a International trained nurse (IEN). All information can be found in the province's nursing board website
