Please take the time to read the Canadian forum and about the difficulty for jobs unless looking to go to rural Alberta but until you have eligibility to sit CRNE which as an IEN can take over 12 months and some form of assessment I wouldn't rush to move to Alberta

Moved to a thread on it's own

Alberta is not the land of opportunity for nurses. You'd be better off in Saudi Arabia if you want to continue your nursing career

You will not get eligibility to sit CRNE without English exam pass as that is part of the application process

Hi I am an Australian Neonatal Registered Nurse/Midwife in the process of application to Alberta. They are currently waiting on my transcripts from my University, they have recieved documentation from the Nursing Regulatory Body in Australia. I have found CARNA to be been very prompt in the application process. Does anyone have any advice for me? Some piece of mind would be wonderful as I have read some discouraging stories but these aren't from anyone applying from Australia. Some positive feedback would be wonderful!

Thank you

Tamara :-)

I think you should study Canadian geography and English.

I believe you are referring to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
