CGFNS Visascreen and CES Processing Time Canadian RN

[jennycrands]

I am wondering if any RNs have gone through the CGFNS Visascreen process recently. I am hoping to get an average for the processing times for Canadian nurses. I submitted all documents and had all my transcripts/documents from my university as well as licensing information, sent off right away, which was around July 15th. I also applied for a CES report for my Washington State nursing license.

Just curious if anyone can give me a heads up if this process is a couple of months or if I'm looking at more like 3 or 4 months.

I have already written my NCLEX exam in Canada, so really I am just waiting on CGFNS to process and issue the certificates.

Any additional info from anyone who has gone through this recently would be appreciated!

Hi There! Can I ask how you were able to submit proof of NCLEX to CGFNS for the VisaScreen? I have received my Wa License, and I am waiting on this dreadful Visa Screen process! Hopefully, it doesn't take too long. Thanks in advance!

If I remember correctly, I believe I did it directly through BCCNP (or whichever regulatory body you are licensed under).

Hi Jennycrands,

I'm from ONT. Do you email the CGFNS PDF with your signed consent to your school and to CNO? Do you email it to the registrar at school? Do you email it to cno.cnomail.org?

Thanks,

Kint

Hi Kint,

Did you email the signed forms to CNO and your school? Can you please share how to go about this? Did you have to pay extra to CNO and/or school for them to submit required documents?
