Thank you so much for the info petgroomer. Actually i am now under an agency here and they are helping me to find a new employer and there is a 100 percent chance that before my contract ends im gonna get a new job. So i think what is left now is when i get settled i could start processing my application and take the CRNe while im finishing my working visa as a LCP.

@ nurse cubanita- My uncle told me that his employer is in need of a caregiver and when i finish the program and become a permanent resident which i think would take 3 years i could work as a nurse here. They told me that applying under the LCP is the easiest way to come here in canada but then it took 2 years for my papers to be processed. I am thinking of volunteering in one of the hospitals here so that i wont be stagnant.

@ silverdragon-- London Health Sciences Center is a hospital in London Ontario which is i think about 2 hours from Toronto. Its like i send them my documents but then they would still schedule me for an interview and it is not 100 percent sure that they would hire me as a nurse but if i can pass the CRNe they would take it into consideration. As of now as i have said i am under the LCP program and my working permit for my employer would expire this august but my working visa as a LCP would expire on 2011. Its because my application in the Phils. took about 2 years and now my employer would have a new caregiver by sept or oct. So i am now looking for a new employer that would sponsor me as a live in caregiver and process a new work permit so by the time that i finished my contract in my present employer i would have a new job and permit. I was just wondering if i would be able to take and pass the CRNE(which i know would take months for the assesment and all stuffs) is it possible for me to not finish my working visa as a caregiver, then apply for a permit wherein i could work as a nurse. Thank you so much for the help.

Thank you for the information.. There is no recruitment for IEN's anywhere in Canada? or just in Saskatchewan? But is it possible that i could be assessed so i would be eligible to take the CRNE in toronto? I am not really aware on how things work out here,is CRNE like NCLEX in a way that you could file an application for assessment then if your eligible to take the exam you could take it within 1 year. Does it goes like that too.. 3 months ago I received an application form from London Health Sciences Center (which i passed my requirements about a year ago when i am still in the philippines) and if it would go well they would call me for an interview but they would like me to be a registered nurse here. And if it is not possible for me to work as a nurse i am already looking for another employer as a caregiver. I am thinking of volunteering in one of the hospitals here. Would that be possibleÉ

I have a friend in saskatchewan and she is under the GN license for 8months before she took the CRNE.. She applied for a GN license first and now a registered nurse in Saskatchewan. My contract with my employer will be finished at august 2010 because my application took a while so she has already sponsored another caregiver and im about to find another employer. So before i could apply for another contract i am thinking of my options as a nurse if it would be possible. But my working visa as a caregiver is up until 2012.. I have been an ER and ICU nurse back for 3 and a half years..

Hi.. I am a registered nurse in the Philippines for 5 years and i am now here in Toronto but under the live in caregiver program for 6 months now.. If i would be issued a Graduate Nurse License in Saskatchewan or if i could pass the CRNE, can i apply for another work permit so i could work as a nurse here in Canada or do i need to finish my caregiver work permit for 2-3years before i could work as a nurse?
