I'm moving this thread to the International Forum as it has nothing to do with Canadian nurses.

You will not be given eligibility to write the CRNE until and unless you meet all the other requirements for registration in Canada and that includes IELTS. So yes, you will need to present proof of your passing IELTS scores.

Immigrant visa/citizenship and language fluency have nothing to do with one another. There are MANY immigrants with permanent residency or citizenship who do not speak or understand either English or French and require the services of an interpreter for everything.

What does the CNO say?

In a nutshell, you must have a minimum IELTS band score of 6.5 in written and 7 in spoken to be considered for registration, or a passing score on any of a number of similar tests.

And before I forget, if you aren't really comfortable with the English language, you will have a great deal of difficulty passing the CRNE. The language used in the exam is at the university level.

Only the college can say whether they will accept it or not

Each college will have their own requirements regarding the English exam and I have had a quick look at CNO website it doesn't indicate what their requirements are. They are the only ones that can say whether they will accept what you have or not.

also to be clear it is write not right
