i love your idea. in fact, i'm dreaming of doing the same thing in the future...maybe we could work together someday and turn these plans into reality. right now, i'm seriously contemplating joining a volunteer organization (similar to the Peace Corp...

NLE: 85.5% CGFNS: 558 Passed NCLEX at item 110

several people i know were hired under the h1b noncap and are now working here in the US with an accompanying greencard petition by the same employer. they are fresh grads too with zero experience. this same facility is set to bring in more nurses to...

hi silverdragon and suzanne, as you know i have also begun a similar process towards working in canada. am now waiting for the eligibility from CRNBC/CLPNBC. i am a filipino citizen and i have a multiple entry US tourist visa. i have been speaking wi...

hi there fmog, you've probably already read breech's post about RNs who graduated from nursing school less than 5 years ago - if this is the case with you then no need to have previous experience to be found eligible. about the New Grad residency tr...

thanks. that was fast. CNO took four months for me. that WES thing was in the CRNBC website. i also applied to CLPNBC and an evaluation report similar to WES was a mandatory requirement there. glad to know that's not the case with CRNBC. how's your ...

wow that was pretty quick -- the time it took to get eligibility and your response....thanks!

yes, that was very encouraging. i've decided to push through with the CRNBC application too can't waste any more time....

to breech, asking you same questions i asked peepo... 1) did you have to submit a WES report to CRNBC or not anymore? 2) in the basic nursing education form and request for transcript (form 30) filled out by your nursing school, just the total hou...

congrats, peepo! that's very good news, indeed. thanks! was there a need for you to have your credentials evaluated by World Education Services (WES) -- did CRNBC require that, or not anymore? just the one page request for transcript from your nursin...

by the way -- to sassyRN -- i answered the question you asked me in the other thread :)

hi breech, congratulations, it's inspiring to see your case progressing successfully. i feel excited for you -- hope i'll be as lucky, too. you mentioned in your post that you haven't met anybody who wasn't successful in being made eligible by CRNBC...

about those additional courses, if i remember correctly, there are colleges and universities in Ontario which offer bridging programs specifically for foreign nurses who did not go through a similarly structured educational system as Canada's. i thin...

hi, yes they did give me an option to withdraw or send in additional material in order to reconsider my application -- i chose to send in additional information but right now i'm discovering that it takes so much addtional work...like: they're now as...

hi, actually we're both worrying about the same thing -- i wish there was some way we could know in advance if we are eligible for a certain province or not because the application fees are so expensive, and waiting for the assessment results takes s...

ICES will prepare your credential evaluation report for CLPNBC and since it takes a while, it would make sense to apply to ICES first. also, they will provide you a copy of the evaluation report so at least you'll be able to review it and check for d...

hi sassyRN, the ICES evaluation takes some time -- 7 weeks at least. haven't heard from them yet although i already submitted my application and payment to CLPNBC and i already requested my school and PRC to send copies of my transcript and license v...

no don't do that (mailing both in one fedex package). if CRNBC sees any indication that your forms did not come directly from your school, they will not accept them.

I see. Thank you for sharing that. Yes I am recently discovering that fees for registration in Canada are so much higher than what I paid for the NCLEX. I also took CGFNS and that cost quite a lot, too. I submitted an application to Ontario for RN re...

thanks, i appreciate your input. i'm striving to maintain realistic expectations about this path and am trying to learn as much as i can about it, since the money, time and effort involved is no joke. did your filipino colleague mention what drawback...

Yes, that's true. It feels like I'm gambling big money but I really don't see any other way to do this. I feel that if I pass up on this opportunity, I could regret it later on.....I'm willing to take my chances. I've already gone this far with the N...

yes, in order to apply for licensure you send an application fee to CLPNBC along with your application, which cost a few hundred canadian dollars. i also had my credentials assessed by International Credential Evaluation Service, which in turn provid...

Thank you for your reply, Suzanne. The hospital is in Atlanta, GA. Yes I understand that it could take several years and is not guaranteed, but if this salary is within legal limits I have decided to finally push thru with the filing of the I-140 and...

I see. In that case I'll be sending in my application for VT this week. Thanks as always, Silverdragon!

You're welcome! Yup I'm a 2nd courser. Goodluck to you!
