Canadian RN to Massachusetts

[chloesk]

Hello!

I'm an RN in Quebec, Canada and I'm wondering if I can get some feedback from Canadian RNs who obtained a license in Massachusetts.

How long does the whole process take?

Where do I begin?! Do I start with setting up the CGFNS thing for Visa Screen? I'm not even sure if I should do the Visa Screen because my American permanent residency paperwork is in progress...

Does MA accept Canadian NCLEX?

I'm just a bit overwhelmed! If anyone who's gone through this process could share their timeline, that'd be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

If you already have application for immigration then a vsc is not required. Check state BON website for requirements and see if Canada requirements are different as some states it is, usually CES report is required from CGFNS
