To anyone who has taken the CRNE exam, how do you find the exam?

Check out the Canadian forum where there are a few threads on CRNE

Hi! ive been reading this thread for quite a while now and i have this concern regarding canadian TWP. My husband is currently working as RN in california with a work permit valid til 2010 and he has a pending I485 or permanent residency application. since the VB has not been moving for some time now, we decided to go for canada. he applied with fraser health and had his preliminary interview yesterday. all went well except for a mention of a possible denial for TWP because of his status in the US. Has anyone had a similar situation? What are his chances in getting a TWP? Thanks!

If he has a pending 485 and allowed to work then there is no reason why he can not renew 485 when it is time (that is my understanding) I doubt that a TWP would be denied for Canada because of his status in the US. As long as he meets Canadian requirements, passes his medical (he has to have one to work in healthcare) there is no reason I see to him being refused

Hi, may i know how did you apply for a tourist visa in Canada? I once applied for visit visa but my application was refused?

Usually when applying for tourist visa you need to show enough ties that you are returning home, not sure why you was denied but may happen again if you can't prove ties like family, work etc

They will inform you if you need to meet any requirements, they have a high workload so will need to give it time for them to assess your application. The exam can only be taken 3 times a year in Canada and if you have a employer and can get a temp license (if you need to make courses up then will not be able to get this) can come and work in Canada whilst waiting to sit CRNE

Most employers will expect to see some reply from CNRBC and know that you haven't any courses etc to make up. You can contact employers in the areas you want to live and start the ball rolling. You do not need to use a agency
