Hey all,

Im currently going through the process of applying for a NY State RN license and am applying for my Visa Screen and am just wondering If  I will need to do an English Proficiency Exam even if all my education was done in Canada and in English?

 

Thanks

Okay, I found this on CGFNS website related to  CGFNS Visa Screen which is needed to receive TN status. 

 

Exemption Due to English-based Professional Education

A VisaScreen® applicant may be exempt from taking an English language proficiency examination if they have completed an English-based professional education. To be exempted, an applicant must meet both of the following two criteria:

Entry-level professional education must have occurred in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada (except Quebec), New Zealand, Ireland or the United States; AND

English must have been the language of instruction, including the language of the textbooks.
