CNRE requires authorization to work as a nurse?

[zakuro]

I learnt this from Ontario's college of nursing. To be eligible for CNRE, you need the Canadian citizenship, or PR, or authorization to work as a nurse in Canada. Obviously as an IEN i assume the last option is the easiest. How could i obtain an authorization to work as a nurse in Canada if i'm not registered yet. Some threads mentioned the Interim Permit, is this the one most people use to apply for CNRE? How long can i work under this permit? I'm totally confused by myself and definitely need some help on this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

i will go to canada as an immigrant soon. I already have my permanent resident visa. I will stay in Ontario. I want to know what are the things I need to do to apply for CNRE? What do I have to accomplish while I am still here in the Philippines. How will I apply? Do I need to apply/register in CNO first? How will i do that? Please help me. I don't know what to do.

janfrn,

Im still here in the philippines and I plan to leave before October. I only have General training IELTS since this is the requirement my agency told me to take for immigrant status. I should have taken the academic, anyway, it already expired. So, I plan to take the IELTS on August or September. Can I apply to CNO now or I'll wait til I got my IELTS results? As much as possible I want to finish everything I need to submit before leaving the Philippines. I didnt know the requirements for CNO until last night. I planned to review for CNRE but I didnt know the process is that I have to register in CNO. Please advise me on what to do first. I appreciate your reply.

so, if I havent applied to CNO yet, is it possible for me to work as a health care aide first or caregiver or a any lower position than a nurse? I have a permanent residence visa.

The IELTS requirement isn't negotiable. BC's minimum score has just been increased and I can foresee the rest of the provinces increasing theirs as well in the not-too-distant future. I'd advise that you take the academic lelve ASAP; you can apply to CNO whenever you want, but until ALL the application criteria are met, your file will not even be looked at. As long as you have a PR visa, you can work in whatever field you're able to find a job in.
