Hey Ainex I did mine three months I was very scared but the instructor is so nice you will feel relaxed, just go and do your best and if gaps are identified you will be asked to do remedial courses. I have to do three but it is better to do it and get it over with and feel more confident than to make errors. Good luck hope to hear some positive news later

Hi Benz2222 Can you please tell me how your assessment went. I am soooo worried. Hope you are settled in by now. I have to take the two days comprehensive assessment too. How long is the question ans answer section?what kind of scenario is given in the "role play" clinical part I think that is the OSCE I just want to know what to expect I am Looking Forward for your response Thank you

I am also very confused, I have been asked to do the competency assessment and I am so scared not knowing what to focus on. I would appreciate hearing others experience especially if you had to travel there and not knowing where you are going. What did you do? and where did you stay? How was it? I will be giong in Late Feburary....... I feel lost already

Hi Nataliak, Thank you for your word of encouragement, I realy appreciate it. I am an IEN as well I did the crne in ONTARIO from 2009 and was successful. I have been trying to get employment since, in order to apply for my license and my work permit without any success. I think every hospital and nursing home have a copy of my resume by now.I just recently applied to Nova Scotia for registration and licensure and had to send all my document to crnns with fees all over again. (I dont really mind doing that.) I just need to know that I will have a chance of getting employed. Could you email me the name of the agency that helped you. my email address is [email protected] All I need is for CRNNS to assess me since I have already done the exam. I hope the proceedure wont take as long as nine months.Looking foward for your response

Thank you all for responding I obtained my authorization from ontario where I did my exam with the intention to register with ontario but I am unable to find employment there. In order to register with Ontario, I could either apply for PR or a work permit , this should then be photocopied and send to CNO along with the fee for assessment. then I could be registered. The open work permit was suggested by someone who answered the phone when I called CNO for information regarding the matter. She stated that because the job opportunity is in another province I would have to apply for a open work permit that would allow me to get registered in ontario and work in Saskatchewan.I don't know if it is possible to get a open work permit as the primary applicant

Hi All This is my first request for advise, I am an IEN, living in the caribbean.I did the CRNE in 2009 and was successful.I have tried to obtain employment in Ontario in order to apply for a work permit but so far without successd. I applied to Saskatchewan and got accepted.I then called the licensing body in Ontario to ask if it was possible to be registered in Ontario(I am not registered in Ontario) then transfer to Saskacthewan and was told that i have to apply for an open permit. is this possible? since I read that open permit is given only to spouses, not the primary applicant.
