I haven’t had any problems getting both my employer and college of nursing recognizing my degree. I haven’t heard that about CNO but when I applied many years ago we still sat the CRNE. NCLEX was a couple of years later

I didn’t have BSN and registered in Canada, but it was way back in 2008. Things have changed but I would suggest trying, they will tell you if you need to make up nursing hours or need to do a return to work course. I did my BSN a few years ago now through Dundee university and had no problem with my college when I declared it.

Probably better to apply to the state you plan to work and live in

You require a employer willing to go the immigration route and sponsor you

Some of the Canadian provinces will accept RMN but the process isn’t cheap and can be long

EB is green card. You don’t need a lawyer to get your nurse registration sorted, they really aren’t needed until you have a employer and they are willing to sponsor you

Would suggest contacting hospitals in the areas you want to live and work in and ask them if they are willing to sponsor

Sorry for your loss

You would need to find a employer willing to go through the process of work permit. You will still need to meet provincial college of registered nurse requirements

I believe you can’t work on a F2 visa but will require the company to sponsor you for your own work visa

I would suggest looking for employer willing to support for visa application but it doesn’t have to be a travel nurse as nafta isn’t difficult to obtain as long as you meet state requirements, have a license, visa screen certificate and a job offer

Do you have a US SSN? California will not accept application without it.

As per the. College of RN for Alberta International applicants Your first step towards becoming an RN in Alberta is to apply for assessment through the National Nursing Assessment Service (NNAS). NNAS will determine whether or not you need to provide an English test, and you will need to have your test results submitted directly to them. Please see the NNAS website for details about English requirements for your NNAS application. Please note that university programs have their own English policies and that CARNA is not able to waive the English requirement for any university program. https://nurses.ab.ca/become-a-nurse/registration-requirements/english-language-proficiency

The next step is applying to the state you plan living and working in. If you last applied to CGFNS back in 1991 then your paperwork will have to start over again

Unless you have a US SSN or ITIN then you can’t submit anything to California
