This has already been explained several times, probably every time the exam is written. All the exams are sent to Ottawa to the head office of the Canadian Nurses' Association for marking. Once all of them ahve been marked, the results are collated by province. The results are then dispatched from Ottawa to each of the provincial/territorial colleges of nurses (with the exception of Quebec, where they do their own thing) by letter mail, 12 envelopes mailed on the same day. Once the provinces receive the results they then draft the letters that go out to the individual candidates. Once all the letters are written and ready to go, they are mailed out on the same day. Variations in the timing of receipt are due to volume and the vagaries of Canada Post. I strongly doubt that Alberta sends out the "fail" letters first since the results are reported from Ottawa in alphabetical order, but anything is possible, I suppose.

Well, in Albeta, all who failed receive their results first. That is how it works in Alberta. It has been proven. Three people that received Monday this week or earlier failed. See shital chauhan's comment on this thread for further proof. The second batch was despatched this week and Edmonton received theirs today (Thursday) because CARNA is in Edmonton. Other cities in Alberta will start receiving their Friday and mostly on Monday next week.

"I do believe each province may have a different way of releasing the results. Lets look at it this way; Today wed 9 march makes it week #5. The CNA states that results will be received within 6 weeks which can only mean one thing, the provincial regulatory bodies may have already received the grades and are in the process of distributing them. How they actually go about doing it is questionable. So sooner or later we will all receive our results.
Lets keep readers of this thread posted as the results are received as to provide support. I will post as soon as i get my results whether its a fail or pass.
Lets hang in there guys.....Happy waiting....!"
I m in small county 150 km from Edmonton.One of my collegue who lives here only received her result on Monday,I m still waiting.I m trying to keep myself engaged but feeling so nervous.i m confused with late/early n pass/fail theory.Does it dispatched centraly or proviancewise. I m sorry to mentioned that my collegue was failed.
Your report of the friend who received early this week and failed goes a long way to supporting the likely fact that in Alberta, the first batch is despatched early and it mostly are for writers who did not make the exam. I am a living witness to this truth. This is true!

Hi Bisp, we can expect it by tomorrow or monday, i lives in high prairie, and i was not able to go to the post office today because of heavy snow fall, so i don't know if it is here already, i hope we all passed it.

hi rosemt, i am sure that by friday or monday you will rejoice having pulled through. i am also waiting. as you know, the feb 2 2011 exam was my third attempt. i checked the mail on my way back from work this evening, but nothing was there yet. those in edmonton started receiving theirs today. other cities in alberta will follow suit friday or monday. we are waiting in hope.

i am an ien from the usa, i wrote my exam in calgary. it will take even longer for me to get my results here. the waiting is very hard but i guess i just have to hang in there and keep the faith.

hi sweety y,

you will receive your result either friday or most likely monday next week (for those outside edmonton). however, if you used the usa address, you will certainly receive yours much later than the rest who used canadian address. chances are that 99.99% of those in the second batch passed going by the pattern of result release in alberta. however, this remains a hypothesis until one actually sees "pass" on the result. it will soon be over! let's keep our hope up.

Hi Sweety y,

Why do you say that IEN will get the results even later???? I thought we are in the same boat as everyone else. I am in Alberta and also waiting for my results, checked mail today but nothing. Please can anyone tell me if IENs get their results later?????

dajcc · Mar 11, 2011

I think only if IENs address is international- which means it will take time for it to travel.

I too is an IEN from USA, took it in BC but my address still here in US. anybody here from BC? Is BC result out already?, oh such an agony...hope it's worth it.
