you will be making a big mistake about not going to take ur licensure exam here and going to canada with absolute zero nursing experience at ur resume... you MUST be a license nurse here before you can apply for a registration as a nurse in canada (registration for CRNE-candian licensure exam). part of that application is verification letter which you will give to PRC then PRC will send it to CRNBC (f ur destination will be British Columbia) and same goes to other canadian states...THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN BE A RN IN CANADA IF U R NOT LICENSE HERE...

now, about the experience - there was a thread here posted by 1 filipina nurse who is currently at vancouver at the moment and shes applying for a nursing job at various hospitals.. she have 12 years hospital experience but not working as a nurse for the past 2 years... not even a single hospital is wiling to hire her, because of that 2 years of not practicing nursing.

my husband is being hired by a hospital in british columbia - primarily because of his 6 years hospital experience and being at the OR for 4 years.

In canada, experience will always matter.
