i have my immigration papers ready, and before may 2012 i will be leaving for canada to pursue my career of choice which is nursing. i decided to enter as a lpn first then progress as an rn later a this might be the best possible option because there is a big possibility that the college of nursing in ontario will probably require that i will undergo a certain period of studying. not to mention the cost. i have passed the ielts exam with a band score of 7.5 and i am ready to send my papers to college of nurses in ontario, canada for assessment. also i have completed almost 3 yrs. of nursing practice as an or nurse. how do i get a temporary lpn license in canada? granted that the college of nursing approved me to take the cpnre, since i would like to work as a nurse immediately when i land in canada.
