NNAS accepting report released by CGFNS?

[Riccardo]

Hello everyone, I hope someone could clarify this for me.

I recently obtained, as international nurse, a Us RN license, even thou I never moved to the Us. Clearly all my credentials were successfully verified by the CGFNS. 
I now want to move to Canada. Will the NNAS accept all my verified certifications (CES) approved by the CGFNS? Are they sharing a common database somehow? Or do I have to go through the extremely annoying process of re-sending all my documents once again to the NNAS as I did for the CGFNS?

I hope someone can help me on this

Thank you

This is something I'm also seeking clarification on. I am an Australian CCRN (3 year bachelor degree of nursing) and a postgraduate degree in critical care. I am about to move to Canada on a working holiday visa and am considering both the US and Canada as options for nursing. I'm keen to know if I can just apply to CGFNS and NNAS would accept their credentialing?

Hello, please did you later find an answer to this? I'm also wondering if I have to send documents to NNAS all over again since I already sent to CGFNS.

Hi Olivia are you still trying to work in US? I know of a agency that works with the hospital and they pay for all testing, immigration, and transportation costs.

I am a Mexican nurse and they help me with the entire process. Once the hospital give me offer letter I signed and they help me with the process and fees. But this is for tn visa sponsorship too. I’m not sure if they sponsor other type of visa is worth asking though. They are [email protected]
