It might work differently in different provinces but I'll give you the information I have based on my experience. I graduated in 2012 from Alberta and moved to Ontario. I never paid the registration fees in Alberta (CARNA), not even for the temporary license although looking back on it, it might have made things a little easier. I registered with the CNO for my temporary license and wrote the exam in Ontario as I had moved already. I did get my exam results from CARNA as I had registered for the exam through them (completely different from actually registering with them for any type of license). I then had to contact CARNA and pay a fee for them to forward my results to the CNO along with other paperwork that the CNO asked for. I only ever paid to be registered in Ontario where I actually lived and worked despite the fact that I graduated from a different province. The CNO did take their sweet time processing my paperwork and I wonder to this day if the process would have been faster had I taken my temporary license in Alberta prior to moving. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck starting out your nursing career!

Hi all, I would really appreciate any opinion you have on this topic! I am going to be graduating from my BScN program in Alberta in April and will be moving to Ottawa in May. I speak both French and English fluently and am really considering Montfort Hospital as my primary choice for where to get a job, however I'm hearing mixed opinions about that particular hospital. For anyone working or has worked in Ottawa, what is/was the best hospital to work at? Again, any opinion you have and share would be greatly appreciated
