Generally at the moment as far as I am aware you have to apply to the new province and start from scratch

New province? Don't know about the new policy..all I know is that they do have this SEC assessment if your credentials was not that sufficient for you to sit the CRNE..Please enlighten us.. Thanks in advance :D

If you are in one province and get eligibility or pass CRNE and then want to move to another province then you have to meet that province requirements and at the moment I believe you have to start from scratch and send in your transcripts. There isn't at the moment a central standard

Hi everyone! I just got my assessment from CRNBC and I'm so glad that I don't have to undergo SEC.

Cheers!

Hi summer09, when did you submit your application? I'm also waiting for their response and I submit it last April.

Hi littlelulu!

I submitted last December, but I have to tell you, there's the holidays to consider. And also, my application was a bit incomplete so that's why it took quite a while. And according to them, they're processing like hundreds at the moment together with mine.

Btw, Where are you from? :)
