how long and how much does it take to have an LPN job in canada?

Published

hi there!

I'm your typical RN who mostly applied to work in the US but apparently, situations lead me to a lot of delays going there, like the timing of the retrogression.

Now while waiting for the visa from America, I applied as an LPN in Canada thru an agency in Makati.That was 5 months ago.I paid a bond of 28,000 pesos and another 28,000 for the CARNA application. They told me they are currently searching for an employer for me to work with temporarily as an LPN.

If ever they would find an employer,i would be able to sign a contract followed by the application for the temporary work permit.in accordance to this, I should pay more than 86,000 pesos for visa application.

Lastly, upon recieving the visa, I will pay the last amount of 47,000 pesos.

Am I going on the right track? the agency was licensed by the POEA.my cousin who is currently working in singapore recommended them to me because she is also an applicant,she said she is already processing her visa.

please tell me something you know about this kind of apllication.I'm getting worried already because its been so long since I applied.

Thank you very much for helping me.

Why go for LPN when you are a RN? We have several IEN's going through the process on their own from the Philippines and depending on the province depends on whether they have to do SEC or not.

hi... just want to ask... for you to assess if this agency is not giving you false hopes...

1. what is the Php28,000 for ? to be paid to CARNA or to your agency? or both?

I understand , you paid already the Php 28,000 for CARNA.... have you submitted the needed documents already to CARNA? Remember that they are not going to assess your case if you have not completed the needed/required documents.

2. Php 86,000 for VISA application - does this take care of the payment for the embassy and agency? You might be trapped, that along the process, they will ask you again payment for the embassy....

Hope this helps...goodluck!

I agree that you're being ripped off.

CARNA deals with RN permits. CLPNA deals with LPN permits. What your agency is telling you makes NO sense.

And if you read through the listed threads you will see that it was a one time only deal for Phillipino nurses brought to Capital Health (it no longer exits)
