interested in working in canada

Moved to the International forum

At some stage you will be required to sit and pass CRNE to be able to work as a RN in Canada. Each province will have their own requirements and you will need to apply to that province and get eligibility to sit CRNE before a lot of employers will even look at you. All jobs adverts I have seen have stated either passed CRNE or have eligibility to sit it.

I would suggest you have a good read in this and the Canadian forum and also look at the CIC website at what route you can take. You can do this on your own without an agency but will require work and time from you to do your research.

To Handk: Your post has been moved from the thread into which you posted as it was off-topic.

A quick reply isn't going to be worth much, because the process of moving to Canada as a practical nurse is lengthy, expensive and complicated. First you must have your educational credentials assessed by the College of Practical Nurses in the province where you want to move to ensure you can actually obtain a license. Then you have to write the Canadian Practical Nurse Exam. I doubt there is an employer anywhere here who will give you a job without your having gotten your license first. You can certainly apply for jobs, but without all the details taken care of, it's unlikely that employers would be interested in interviewing you. The various health regions in each province have websites that include career pages with online applications.

If you were planning to work in Canada why did you go to India to go to school?

BC might be a good choice for you. CLPNBC authorizes BCIT for credential assessment, ICES, and the process timeframe is reasonable for me which was within a month according to my personal experience. You can check detail here http://www.clpnbc.org/index.php?dbq=9#4897
