Foreign graduate here, how does using CGFNS to send your credentials to BON work? If I do that, I do not need to contact my university or?

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

Moved to the Nurse Registration forum.

Unless using cvs for New York then you have to arrange with your university to send transcripts to CGFNS

I did this before and I can share this based on my experience. The CGFNS will send a document DIRECTLY TO YOUR SCHOOL to ask for your education documents like your transcripts and all. It will show on your CGFNS account if it was sent already. This takes time to arrive in your school like 2-3 weeks during my time. In order for me to know if the school received that, I asked my aunt to go to my school and ask the registrar or the appropriate department that releases such documents. I had to let my aunt go there to make sure the process is smooth because you know sometimes in the Philippines, some schools don't process such requests if they're not being bothered. My aunt had to go there as well upon the release because she was given a release date and she had to pay something to ease them people (politics). The documents were sealed by the school (including the FROM and TO sections), but my aunt sent it (not FROM her name, but FROM the school's name). Why? Because my school didn't have a budget to send documents internationally (it's quite expensive). So it was sent by her through a 3-day delivery service. By looking at my CGFNS account, I saw that they received it. Hope that this can give you an idea. Good luck.

Hello! I am about to start my application for CGFNS(for New Zealand). Thank you for sharing you experience here. I exactly have the same questions which you answered above. I am writing just to make sure that if it really matters who is sending the documents to the cgfns. I really doubt that the institutions including my university, the regulatory health authority, and the hospitals where I have worked so far, will send those required documents directly to CGFNS by a courier, cargo, or mail. I am thinking of sending those documents(which are sealed and authorised) to CGFNS by myself with a courier. Would that make any difference?? Would that be a problem??

I don't think that, that is an issue. Just make sure that the envelope is properly sealed by the issuing authority, school or entity that releases such documents. Just also make sure that the FROM and TO sections of the envelope is not your name. FROM should be from the school/entity and TO is the CGFNS correspondence. Good luck.

Please Greetings hope all is well. How will I get to know whether my request for transcript has been delivered successful to CGFNS? My school gave me the tracking number and is been delivered to the CGFNS International Office. I went back to check my accounts and found that is not yet received not even on pending so I wanna know any way out
