thanks tempo. Yeah, i think you're right. I mixed up eligiblity for licensure and registration with eligiblity to take the CRNE. Thanks!

hi lenjoy, have you already applied for a temporary license? Because the CRNNS site stated: (well, this exactly) "A temporary licence is deemed invalid on the earliest of the following dates: Two weeks after the holder has received notification of their eligibility for registration and licensure;" DOes that mean, if you don't apply for a temporary license in two weeks after they told you that you are eligible, it's then invalid, right? I've emailed the registration office, but I still don't have any response. I was hoping silverdragon would have answers since she's registered in Nova Scotia, but I think she's not on duty tonight.

Hello guys and gals! Just received my eligibilty to take the CRNE under CRNNS. Now they are requiring a Criminal record check from Canada and the Philippines. They gave me some documents that will be given to which ever authority here in the Philippines, but I don't know which one! Do I pass the Request form to the NBI here in the Philippines or to any police station here? And by the way, to those that have already been eligible and registered, have any of you done the "truecheck" crimical record check (which is required for Canada) and placed a Canadian address despite that you have never lived in Canada? Because I'm having a difficult time finshing the form, since they are requiring me to provide the last residential address in Canada. But I've never been there, that's the problem. Hope you kind people could help. Thanks in advance!

Hello the Philippines

Hello there zeromike22! Canada is currently fast-tracking 38 occupations (including nurses) it takes less than a year to get out of the philippines, as long as you have the following: - have an offer of arranged employment, OR - be a foreign national living legally in Canada for one year as a temporary foreign worker or an international student, OR - be a skilled worker who has at least one year of experience in one or more of the following occupations: 0111: Financial Managers 0213: Computer and Information Systems Managers 0311: Managers in Health Care 0631: Restaurant and Food Service Managers 0632: Accommodation Service Managers 0711: Construction Managers 1111: Financial Auditors and Accountants 2113: Geologists, Geochemists and Geophysicists 2143: Mining Engineers 2144: Geological Engineers 2145: Petroleum Engineers 3111: Specialist Physicians 3112: General Practitioners and Family Physicians 3141: Audiologists and Speech Language Pathologists 3143: Occupational Therapists 3142: Physiotherapists 3151: Head Nurses and Supervisors 3152: Registered Nurses 3215: Medical Radiation Technologists 3233: Licensed Practical Nurses 4121: University Professors 4131: College and Other Vocational Instructors 6241: Chefs 6242: Cooks 7213: Contractors and Supervisors, Pipefitting Trades 7215: Contractors and Supervisors, Carpentry Trades 7217: Contractors and Supervisors, Heavy Construction Equipment Crews 7241: Electricians (Except Industrial and Power System) 7242: Industrial Electricians 7251: Plumbers 7252: Steamfitters, Pipe fitters and Sprinkler System Installers 7265: Welders and Related Machine Operators 7312: Heavy-Duty Equipment Mechanics 7371: Crane Operators 7372: Drillers and Blasters – Surface Mining, Quarrying and Construction 8221: Supervisors, Mining and Quarrying 8222: Supervisors, Oil and Gas Drilling and Service 9212: Supervisors, Petroleum, Gas and Chemical Processing and Utilities You obviously have the last choice. So if I were you go ahead with this application. The good thing about this is that if ever you get denied (let's hope not), they will refund your processing fee. Good luck! I would do anything to get a year of full-time paid work experience.

Hello! Just want to ask how long does the initial registration assessment take? How many months or weeks will it take to know if you are eligible or not? (according to your experiences.) Thank you for those that can reply.

I know, that's is exactly why I got confused. It's one advantage of being a student, but when I got denied because of that, then I just didn't bother complaining.

I applied for a single entry only. And yes, I did apply for a student visa because I was offered a scholarship in one school in ontario. But I got denied because I wrote in my application that I wanted my husband and son to accompany me. Which was my bad. I definitely provided them proof that I wasn't going back since I brought my whole family along with me. Have you submitted your application yet to the Canadian Embassy?

I actually made a forum about my situation. Here it is: https://allnurses.com/international-nursing/what-does-canadian-404562.html I discussed everything that has happened at that time. Good luck on your application.

When I read this, it made me laugh, because I felt rogue2578 was talking about me! LOL! But yes, as embarassing as this may sound, I got denied by the Manila Canadian Embassy despite all the documents I have presented. But since I am an aspiring Canadian, I am not giving up, and still looking for other ways to get to Canada. (thru work permit, I suppose..LOL) But Wahine, if ever you do get approved, pls. contact me so I would know what I could do, and if I did do something wrong with my application. Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I am sorry to hear that. And it must be frustrating, but I hope not all those that were brought there are incompetent. That would definitely scar the reputation of IENs from the Philippines.

What possible problems may I encoounter? I am aware that in the philippines, a RN is just the equivalent of an LPN in Canada? (according to some threads that I read before). So I was hoping that maybe they will be able to provide me eligibility.

Hello! I know this may sound a bit desperate, but I was thinking of registering as an LPN in Canada, since I am having a hard time getting a visa to take the SEC in BC. What are my chances? Would it be possible to get my eligibility and find an employer that will be willing to petition me and my family? Share your thoughts. I would greatly appreciate it.

My husband has his relatives there. But they are not in good terms, and they live in Alberta. My brother is studying there, but he's younger than me, it would be akward to have my younger brother be my grantor, esp. if he's only a student there. The only solution I see is to find a person to hire me for any position (even as a restaurant crew, or a caregiver) so that I will be able to get a TWP. But it's pretty hard to get an employer on-line because they prefer to interview you in person. See! I don't want to lose hope, but the things happening to me are making me lose hope! Any suggestions??? Or should I just let this go, and move on?

I am honestly frustrated right now, I've been reviewing for the SEC and CRNE for about 6 months now. I feel that I am really ready. But how the heck will I get thru this if I won't be granted a visa??? I feel so trapped.
