Issues with CGFNS

[SandrineRN]

Hi,

I recently started the process of evaluating my credentials with CGFNS and at the moment my documents can't be processed be it say on the Transcript Form that signature not valid. Not sure why that is. I called CGFNS and they claimed to have sent an Email to my school but I called the school and they can't find the email. I don't know if anyone has had such issues and if it was resolved?

I want to return to WA to work and I need the visa screen in order to get my TN visa. 

Any answer on this yet? This is interesting. Did you endorse your US RN License to Canada and now you have Canadian RN registration? Did  you really need CGFNS Visa Screen since I felt like that was only applicable to non-US educated RNs.

So they have a “streamline” process for US educated nurses. I did endorse my US license to Canada and received provisional registration until I wrote the CRNA and got a permanent license. I don’t know why I need CGFNS when it is clearly for foreign educated nurses. Their name is Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools!! The frustrating part is when I call them, no one knows what the streamline process is? All they see is Canadian citizen and automatically group me as foreign educated :(

Hi guys I have the same issue with my application. They said that the signature and seal of my transcriptions are not validated. I contact my college, but they said that didn't received anything from CGFNS, any letter or email. I'm trying to call CGFNS, but the line is always busy and no one answers my call, even if I call early in the morning. I'm so stressed with all these issues.

@lilinurse Whoever signed your CGFNS form from your school is probably not registered with CGFNS yet. I had this issue in 2019 when there was a change of school personnel. So I contacted the school giving them CGFNS contact info for them to call. (It was a hassle for sure!).

I’ve never written their exam but maybe call them and ask them if they can recommend a study hide. Hopefully someone can help you on here. Good luck ??
