question: if u work there as LPN first, can u get your family to live there too? I mean can u get citizenship for that?

You can't get citizenship until you have lived as a PR for 3 years. You can have your family with you but if your spouse wants to work they need to get their own work permit which can be applied for on the back of yours read this it should help http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/faq/work/index.asp

Yes PR is permanent resident and your family can move at the same time as you as long as they are included in your application and like I mentioned previously if your spouse wants to work they need to apply for a work permit on your application (submit forms at the same time) The link I posted explains it well. Some provinces require your children to have a student visa if they are going to school but again that seems to vary

Because this is more towards working and immigration to Canada moving to the International forum

No! NO! NO! The NCLEX has nothing to do with Canada in any way. No nursing jurisdiction in Canada cares if you've passed the NCLEX once or a hundred times. To work as an RN in Canada, you have to pass the CRNE. The individuals in Alberta who are currently working as LPNs have been given the opprotunity to do so as a stopgap because their BScN from the Philippines is not equivalent to a BScN in Alberta, it's only equivalent to an LPN diploma and they had already been offered employment when this was discovered. Since LPN stands for LICENSED Practical Nurse, these people have had to pass the Canadian Registered Practical Nurse Exam to be able to work as LPNs, and they are expected to upgrade their education at their own expense to that of a Canadian-educated RN if they want to stay in Canada and work as an RN... after they pass the CRNE.

As stated several times in several threads before, you don't need an agency to go to Canada! It doesn't matter where you are from.

Choose the province you are interested in, contact their College of Nursing, let them assess your education and go from there.

You will get all relevant information first hand and will develop skills to research and find things out on your own, you will need those skills as a Nurse in Canada! You will be able to choose your employer directly. Many employers do grant relocation costs.

So you won't be cheated, you won't get wrong information from hearsay or whatsoever!

After reading this thread I'm quite upset about all those wrong information going around. Just some info for Saskatchewan:

Every applicant will be assesed individually by SRNA. If they find that your education is lacking then you will have to do a SEC. They use the same SEC that Alberta is using.

I'm not sure if a Nurse whose education is declared short of one or more areas in Alberta would succeed in Saskatchewan (or elsewhere). Might be might not.

Mistakes do happen unfortunatly and apparantly Alberta (Capital Health) made a big one when they decided to hire Nurses without having assessed their education first. Since this information is quite public, be asured that other provinces will try hard not to to repeat this one.

Just to say please try to get proper information first hand. There's a lot of hearsay around what is probably not true. Even with beeing educated in the same nursing school/university/college just a different clinical might make a difference, and plus sometimes how truthful people are. Just to remind, if your eduaction/experience is lacking and you try to cheat a bit, you might end up struggling very hard to fit into a new system, because they expect what you stated before. For instance if you say you have experience be clear what exactly you've done. There are huge differences in countries and your range of practice, even if it's called the same, might be completly different what will be expected from you. So SEC can be your chance to get your education to the level you will need.

From what I have read Canada has been very generous with their time and resources.

For example the nurses who were not qualified to work as RNs it would have easier to put them back on the plane. Instead they thought outside the box and allowed them to take the LPN exam ( only this groups was eligible).

The nurses in the SK many of them came last year and have not passed the CRNE but are still allowed to work with a limited license. That too is very generous in the US you would be let go and if you were lucky could stay as a Nursing Assistant.

It seems if you are not initially honest and do not accurately tell your nursing experience the powers that be will see that you are "faking it" . Not only does this effect patient safety but were is your personal honor? I am assuming that you are planning on staying in Canada, if you lied what do you think is going to happen when you apply for a promotion?

Has anyone applied to work in Saskatchewan, Canada as a registered nurse through the skilled worker visa program. I want to start the process to work in Canada. I am a registered nurse in India. Can anyone who has gone through this process let me know how it went. I have already applied to srna. I have done the online application and have to send in the required documents as of the moment but am very confused on my how to go about the visa procedures.

thank you

kim.

Have you read the instructions on the CIC website? I think you will need to wait for SRNA to respond and eligibility before you can progress further
