nclex utilize in Canada

There are several threads discussing this and it is all provinces for RN that the NCLEX will be uterlised for

That's what I have seen frm CRNBC, this is a new process for IENs who want to become RN and LPN in Canada.

Starting Aug. 12, 2014, all internationally educated applicants for CRNBC registration must first apply to the National Nursing Assessment Service (NNAS).

The NNAS will review your application. After the review is complete, the NNAS will send you a report and you can apply for CRNBC registration. Your next steps will then include the Substantially Equivalent Competency Assessment and national nursing exam (as needed).

NNAS has a contract with Canada, actually it's CGFNS system in US. All IENs have to pay $650 USD for this assessment!

How to Apply â€" NNAS / SNEI

Well, this is the case. I am an RN, NCLEX passer (Illinois) , with almost 3 yrs hospital experience, with IELTS. In fact, I have ongoing Canadian immigration application too and waiting for the embassy interview. Based on that information that will be implemented by January 2015, i was just wondering if you know, given that I'm an NCLEX passer, somehow hoping I can utilize my license there in Canada and get a better job.

Even if you have NCLEX in the US you still have to go through the process of application with the province and if they decide you need to attend some form of assessment there is no getting round that. The province may accept the NCLEX pass for the US and that is their decision and we haven't seen all provinces say they will accept NCLEX but other requirements still must be met before a license allowing you to work as a RN is issued

I'm confused, I thought the US was where you wanted to be because you had relatives there. Canada is a cold and lonely place until you know people.

Not to be negative, but I feel like I should let you know that our job market sucks right now. Unless you want to go far north, the big cities are inundated with RNs, and job prospects are not fantastic, especially not full time.

Yup, I'm kind of confused by this entire post. The poster has multiple posts on their "American Dream" and how to achieve it and that they have relatives in the US.

Suddenly there is a desire for a "better job" and Canada. Makes no sense.

Just so everyone will know, I am exploring options than none at all.

All provinces will use NCLEX in 2015 and no more CRNE. The Canadian Nurses Association was very mad because they lost a lot of money from all the colleges moving to NCLEX. The test will be on computer and you can work in the States if you pass it and meet requirements.

This statement shows how little you know about this. Do some research before you post.

Meanwhile in Quebec...
