I discovered this the other day. I am an applicant and was trying to schedule my NCLEX but all on hold now until they are up and running.

There's rumours swirling that this attack on CNO's website and infrastructure involves members of the provincial government  (FORD Conservatives) as a political move to make members/public question the regulatory control of CNO. The current provincial gov't wants more involvement in nursing regulation.

I also have the same problem. Been waiting for them to verify my information so I can schedule my test but no word on when they will resume functioning as normal again. so frustrating.
