Everything pretty much grinds to a halt in Canada from roughly December 22 to January 2 over here. It's called the Christmas season.

they gave me a file number, so when I type in that number in the CRNBC site, my name appears showing my status as "not registered". Im eager to meet the postman hoping he brings me good news.

hi! Breech and everyone,

I sent my CRNBC application last november. I was expecting to receive an eligibility to take the CRNE exam this month, instead i got a letter from CRNBC asking me to come to Canada to take a SEC assessment in Kwantlen Polytechnic University that will take for 1-5 days. They are giving me one year to comply for this.I know that i will not be able to do this assessment and I know that an application is being assessed individually but im just sharing it with all of you and i'm a little bit ...dissappointed of the outcome of my application....

Hi j8win,

We can't do nothing with the decision of the CRNBC. They set their own standards and make assessment individually. They are just basing their decision in your credentials and nursing curriculum.

Good luck!

does anyone know of a sudden change in crnbc.ca?

everytime i try to open the COMPLAINTS or CONTACT US button, an ADXstudio textbox appears and asks me to log in. this has prevented me to open different areas in the website... please help...

Hi. I have passed my application to CRNBC, now waiting for my eligibility. While waiting, Im already scouting for a possible employer. I believe part of CRNBC requirement is the 250hours work experience with a Canadian employer (it may be completed before/after the CRNE). Suppose I receive my eligibility, under what position can I apply thru the internet? Can I apply for RN position with my eligibility?

Yes, you can now start looking for an employer with your eligibility plus your credentials. Your experience counts very much in obtaining an employer.

Good luck!
