Good day.:) I am applying for an immigrant in Canada. Fortunately, i have our medical request already. If everything will go smoothly, i am planning to fly to canada early next year. but before that, i am planning to apply as a registered nurse in Ontario, Canada while i am here in the philippines. i understand that we need to apply to take the nursing exam (CRNE) in the regulatory body of the chosen province. In my case, i chose Toronto, Ontario since my sister is residing there. So i need to apply to the College of Toronto to take the exam right? i visited their site and initial registration was shown there: Initial registration According to the legislation governing the College — the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA) and the Nursing Act, 1991 — you must register with the College of Nurses and be a member in good standing in order to practise as a nurse in Ontario. The initial registration fee is $171.73. There is no expiration on your Certificate of Registration. To remain a member of the College in the following years, you must pay the annual fee of $122.66. My question is, do i have to pay the $171.73 as my first step? Please correct me if i am wrong. Your reply will be highly appreciated. :)

thank you so much...:) i have another question.. which is better? to take the ielts exam there in canada or here in the philippines? by canada, i mean when his immigration visa will be approved.

good day..:) my friend wants to inquire about ielts.. he already took general ielts for immigration.. is it still necessary to take another ielts exam (academic) for him to apply for employment or any exam in canada like crne?

i am a registered nurse here in the Philippines... I have applied for an immigrant visa in Canada... (specifically in Toronto, Ontario where my sister is residing) if the visa will be approved, I am planning to go to Canada right away (God willing) what should i do if I'll reach Canada? I want to practice my profession as a nurse...:redpinkhe my friend in Canada told me that i have to take an exam (is it CRNE?). she said that if i pass, i will be a Licensed Practical Nurse.. if i want to be a registered nurse, i still have to study for 2 years. is it true? by the way, i am a masters degree holder here in the philippines. Masters of Arts in Nursing..

thank you so much..:)

hello. my friend finished his Masters already. Masters in Art of Nursing. is it a degree of diploma? whats the difference between degree and diploma? thanks in advance...:)

does everyone applying to be an RN in Ontario have to pass the CRNE and undergo the bridging program or just pass the CRNE?

my sister and my close friend who are currently in toronto said that nurses are still in need in toronto. its really confusing me... (

thank you so much...:) so its not yet a good time to move in toronto right? coz, im planning to migrate there. with my mom of course. my sister is in toronto already. we are planning to start our application next month. should we not continue with our plans? or not?

wait... i thot one needs to pass the CRNE before one will be in RN in Ontario? i dont get it. whats this bridging program?

ok. thank you so much..:)

but i am currently attending classes in a masters degree since june 2008 til present. hopefully, ill graduate on january or march 2010. should i tell them about this? and how should i tell them? its not yet a degree for me right coz i didnt finish it yet. but soon, ill finish it my masters degree.. soon.. :)

what does type of education document received (i.e., degree or diploma) mean? i graduated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (4 years)..... and i also received a diploma. so which is which? diploma or degree? thanks everyone..:) thank you so much allnurses.com...:)

really? is this for real? so its really hard to find a job in toronto right now?

ok. thank you so much..:) i did academic ielts exam already.. thank you so much..:)

yes yes... i did.. i did... thank you so much..:) but the ielts? i took the ielts already with an average of 7 and lowest score i have is 6.5 for speaking and writing...

thank you so much for the site..:) i really appreciate it a lot..:)

silverdragon: yah... 2010... sorry... hehe... so im gonna graduate hopefully on january 2010.. really. so i should start now? one more thing, it was not stated there about ielts. so what is the required score/average?

There are two ways in which you can show proof of safe nursing practice. If you are working as a nurse, the College will need a reference from your most recent employer verifying that you have worked a minimum of 1,125 hours in nursing within the previous five years at the time of registration. Ask your employer to complete the Verification of Employment and Reference (B-4) form that is included in your Application Package. Your employer must return the form to the College. If you have not worked as a nurse, but you did graduate from an approved RN or RPN program within the last five years, the College will accept verification of program completion as proof of recent practice. i dont have an experience yet... ill be starting my volunteer duty or as a nurse trainee this coming monday in a primary hospital. while waiting for a tertiary hospital here in our place to have a vacancy. i graduated last march 2008 then continued masters degree on june 2008. i took the nursing licensure exam here in the phils last november 2008. i got registered on march 26, 2009. hopefully, ill finish my masters degree on january 2009. even though i didnt finish my masters degree yet, is it ok for me to apply even though under the above stated condition?

i did already and they said to check the cno site... but when i checked the site, i didnt understand. it didnt say the step by step process for ien, the requirements for ien, etc... its very hard to understand...... what i saw are the dates of the crne exam and thefees.... its not user-friendly... sorry...

i did that already... thank you so much... i also understand that each province in canada has different requirements for crne. i want to ask specifically the crne process and requirements for toronto, ontario. pls.. i havent done anything yet.. i dont know what to do. pls.. thank you so much... im so sorry for the hassle done...

hello. good day! i am a registered nurse here in the philippines. can you tell me about CRNE in Toronto, Ontario? what are the specific requirements and what should i do to apply? i visited the site given in the other posts/threads but all i can see are the dates, fees, etc.. what are the requirements and what should i do first? how long is the processing time? im so sorry, im doing this on my own and i dont know how.

thank you so much for the answers..:)

im so sorry... but what is twp and pnp?

hello. good day! i do have questions: 1. i dont have an employer for canada yet. does that mean i shoudnt apply for crne yet and wait for an employer before i apply for crne? 2. what province in canada can you suggest for us to take the crne wherein we can readily find an employer?
