speedo · Jul 5, 2009

Hi Vincnet777,

Wondering, when did you have your medical exam? it seems some states/territories are holding the visa now in particular Alberta, even if they have medical)

Just to add, because of the economy problems, I guess the the embassy is double checking if the job offer is still in place.

Vincent you are so lucky to be granted an eligibility in a month AND an employer. I applied in BC but instead of an eligibility, I received an endorsement to have the SEC assessment. I hope you can regularly update us about your Canadian quest.

canada doesn't have states, we have provinces. make sure to learn about the country you hope to live in.

fiona, thanks for the reply. i am actually processing in bc, hope its not affected by the recession.

bc's health care sector has indeed been affected by the recession. they're being faced with $360 million in cuts, with vancouver coastal and fraser health authorities targeted for the biggest cuts.

b.c. targeting $360 million in health care cuts

the canadian press

british columbia's new health minister has told regional health authorities to cut costs to avoid a $360-million deficit because the province won't be providing any bailout money as costs continue to climb.

in a letter emailed wednesday to health authority chief executives, kevin falcon said he expects about 40 per cent of the savings to come through cuts to administration and overhead, and speeding up shared services such as bulk purchasing.

"you will also face some tough choices in the year head to live within your means," falcon's letter says.

ndp says health care cuts show b.c. liberals lied about protecting health

by steve mertl (cp) – 1 day ago

vancouver, b.c. — former b.c. health minister george abbott is lashing back at ndp accusations that the government has broken its election promise to protect health care.

new democrat health critic adrian dix has pointed to cuts proposed or announced by b.c. health authorities as evidence the government was hiding the true state of health care until after last may's election, which gave the liberals a third term.

the fraser health authority - the province's second largest by budget and largest by population - confirmed measures thursday that are aimed at eliminating a forecast $160-million deficit.

the steps include cutting thousands of elective surgeries, cancelling contracts with outside agencies providing services to seniors and the mentally ill and freezing the number of mri scans to last year's volumes.

health care cuts a betrayal says james

victoria, b.c. – despite the campbell government’s election promise to protect health care, the fraser health authority confirmed deep cuts are coming to patients in fraser health, carole james and the new democrats said today.

james was referring to the fha report released late yesterday afternoon, that says it will cut up to 9900 surgeries, downgrade ers, slash services for mental health and addictions, reduce diagnostic services and cut seniors care.

“these cuts will lead to people waiting in pain longer,” said new democrat leader carole james. “the cuts will do long-term damage to public health care in the region to make up for the b.c. liberals duplicity and incompetence.”

these are only a few of the news stories i found in a simple google search. as i've mentioned before, it's imperative that all of you pay close attention to what's happening here and that you take nothing for granted. until you're actually in canada and working as a nurse, nothing is guaranteed. and even then, there is still a possibility that it could all be taken away. please, please, please don't let your dreams cloud your vision so much that reality is overlooked.

hi guys... anyone here have an idea regarding province to province endorsement? I mean like reciprocity. I already have my eligbility in Nova Scotia but I'm planning to apply for assessment in Brunswick. Anyone who have done reciprocity with their eligibility?

I would really appreciate it... Thanks guys..

It's much easier to write CRNE in the province where you applied, register and then transfer I think.

Canada doesn't have reciprocity exactly. It is possible to become licensed in more than one province once you've passed the CRNE. But... BIG but... you still have to meet the province's requirements fro registration. Each province looks at things from their own perspectives and some provinces have tougher requirements than others. Just because you're eligible to write the CRNE and obtain registration in Nova Scotia doesn't automatically mean you'll be eligible in New Brunswick. And even if an IEN has been registered in one province it doesn't always follow that they could be registered in another. You still have to go through the new province's registration process and have your credentials assessed, pay the fees and all the rest. Even nurses who were educated in Canada who are life-long Canadian citizens have to undergo the credentials assessment, pay the fees, do the waiting and all the rest. It makes no financial sense to have multiple registration applications pending. You can't just throw a dart at the map and pick a place to live and work that way. These decisions are immense and the repercussions of making the wrong choice are monumental. Make sure you know what you're doing.

As Silverdragon allready suggested you should really read the threads that are discussing immigrating and working in Canada, your questions are all answered there.

And I actually would appreciate if you could write in proper english like you instead of u, maybe I'm old fashioned, but I'm having a hard time reading your posts.

thank you
