my employer failed to submit my eligibility letter and temporary registration. In addition, Canada Day, Ministerial Election and lots of holidays. Not within anyone's control. But its ok though. The fruit of waiting, worth it. :yeah: :yeah:

If I read this correctly then for the PNP you need to be registered or eligible by the college

Registered Nurses and Registered Psychiatric Nurses

Nominee candidates must be registered, or eligible for registration, with the College of Registered Nurses of B.C. or the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of B.C.

june 8, 2009 - landed canada and became permanent resident at vancouver international airport...
...presently here in cranbrook city

wow! breech i have been reading this thread from page 1, you're experience is really inspirational! i am still choosing which region it easier/faster to enter, i'm thinking saskatchewan or manitoba since it's the least popular part of canada compared to bc. im also still contemplating which way to go, through pnp or immigrant visa as federal skilled worker , the pnp takes 8-12 months average, the immigrant visa way longer but i recently attended this orientation seminar by a certain consultancy firm, they said that the cic would expedite the processing of nurses for immigrant visa since nurses are included in the top 38 professions, the cic would shell out immigrant visas for nurses as early as 9 months, according to the consultancy firm,i don't know if this is entirely true. did the cic give you a hard time with your documents? coz the consultancy firm said that the cic is very strict with the required documents, that's why we need their expertise so everything would be smooth sailing.

boardshorts, you and all IENs hoping to work in Canada MUST educate yourselves on current events in health care in Canada. The nursing shortage is not resolved BUT there are many newly graduated nurses already in Canada who are not finding employment. The young single people are willing to relocate and a lot of those positions that may be vacant today in places like Manitoba and Saskatchewan will be filled tomorrow by nurses from Alberta and Ontario. I'm begging all of you to PAY ATTENTION. Go into this process with your eyes open. You may find yourself in possession of all the paperwork to emigrate but no job to provide that last element. You'll be out a ton of money and suddenly it'll be all Canada's fault that you're not able to follow your dream.
