narscathy, Janfrn and Silverdragon both have a point. We are applying to become nurses in BC, therefore we have to abide by their rules. If you think you deserve to be a nurse in Canada, you have to prove it to them that you are worth it. I too have ...

They havent sent me that SEC Assessment Candidate Self-Assessment form yet. Now, what is that? They sure cant stop thinking of ways to make our application more complicated.

Hi ikang_714, From what country are you? How are you preparing for the SEC?

i was told 6 weeks before SEC results are released to CRNBC. i dont think you will get a copy of the result. I think CRNBC will inform you whether you are eligible to take the CRNE (meaning you passed the SEC) or you have to take another step (meanin...

I have faxed my confirmation for SEC assessment. Im waiting for the next step. What bothers me is the time pressure of just holding a tourist visa when we dont know how long we have to wait for the results whether we pass or not. I wouldnt want to go...

5cats, you're the one who passed the SEC assessment, right? can you give me an idea of how the assessment goes, what you did, what they asked you...stuff like that. Thanks a lot!

anybody here knows how long can a foreigner on tourist visa stay in Canada? I have no problem with housing and expense since I have some relatives in BC. I just need to find the right timing to leave Phil so I can maximize my stay in Canada. I just h...

Yes, my application took 2 months. The training Im talking about is like a work in the sense that I render nursing care to patients, give meds, carry out doctors orders, charting (basically all RN duties) except that Im not being paid since hospitals...

i passed my application Nov 2008, but i didnt include my training which started only in july 2008. While waiting for their reply, i was able to bank 7mos of work (aka training) experience. Anyway, Im planning to take the SEC assessment. Im from the P...

Do you guys have any idea what to study for the SEC assessment? how can I prepare for that?

I understand the side of CRNBC that they need quality nurses in Canada, and that SEC assessment would help them in this matter. It just saddens me that I would have to apply for visa, travel to Canada for few days, then go back to my country, then go...

hi. I applied to BC right after I graduated because I thought id still be considered competent since im a newly grad. So i didnt write anything on the experience aspect of the application. While waiting for CRNBC response, I started working as a nurs...

just to share, i have an Equitable visa credit card. I tried that with my application and they informed me that they could not access my card. later on, i found out that it is a classic local card, meaning it only works within the Philippines. So i o...

Hi. I have passed my application to CRNBC, now waiting for my eligibility. While waiting, Im already scouting for a possible employer. I believe part of CRNBC requirement is the 250hours work experience with a Canadian employer (it may be completed b...

I too have 1yr of work experience. Silverdragon, are you saying that it would be easier to find a job once you're in Canada already? Because most institutions I applied to in the internet requires 2-3 years experience. I am hesitant to apply for a to...

they gave me a file number, so when I type in that number in the CRNBC site, my name appears showing my status as "not registered". Im eager to meet the postman hoping he brings me good news.

I have the same dilemma..I can't find an employer. What is the validity of the eligibility in BC? what if that validity has expired and you're still unable to sit the CRNE?how about the required 250hour Canadian work, how can we comply with that when...

PVS17, when did you pass your application to CRNBC? I submitted mine last Nov, but i havent received any letter from CRNBC, although they emailed me my account number. did they send you your account number too? i hope everything is ok regarding my a...

Polkadots, i admire your perseverence! just a suggestion, while waiting for your NLE result, attend various trainings and seminars. this may come handy when applying for training/work in the Philippines. do grab this opportunity to research about Can...

hi shaigem1. you mentioned that employers from canada are coming? would that be for saskatchewan? how long is your work experience here? im a new grad agency bec they require experience, only have 2 mos of ojt. but i did pass my application to canad...

What is the difference of a New Graduate Nurse and Nurse 1?

according to CRNBC Registration assessor, application does not need to be notarized. i passed my application without being notarized, and he said "nothing to worry".

Hi! im an RN from the Philippines and would like to work in Canada. Would there be anyone around who can help me compare work in BC and Alberta? i know that nurses in Alberta gets the highest pay. Which among the two can process application faster? ...
