CGFNS - Visa Screen Update for Canadian RN

Hello. This is an update of my CGFNS - Visa Screen I processed this March 2019. Basically, my application did not go as fast as I expected.

1. The authorized signature was not accepted from one of my colleges since there was a change in college personnel. However, I spoke with CGFNS agent and was explained how to solve the issue. I contacted my school right away and the new authorized personnel contacted CGFNS and filled - up a form she received via email to confirm her identity. It took months for CGFNS to update the status online.

2. To my dismay, one of my colleges will just mail the completed CGFNS form I requested back in March. This is the only thing pending on this application. I am frustrated but hopefully CGFNS will receive and process it without any problem. I am tempted to pay the Expedited Review (500 USD) but will think about it if no report yet by July. Hopefully, I will have US State RN license by then as well.

I finally received my Visa Screen Certificate June 27th/19. It took 4 months (Mar-June) to be processed due to the delay.

Unfortunately, I am facing a new problem with my State Nursing license due to ?deficiency on obstetrics & pediatrics clinical hours; however, I have asked help from my school. Will update.
