thnx for the reply @silverdragon! yes you were right about taking the LPN course. however alot of agencies now adays offer this kind of program for filipino nurses. do you have any idea if canada offers a bridging program like that of australia? i know that nursing is not on the list of noc. but i was hoping to get a sponsorship/ working visa perhaps if not under the FSW visa. is this possible? btw are u in canada and working as a nurse now? =) btw i really appreciate your prompt response in most of the threads here. thank you so much. ive learned alot.

hi everyone! =) i am a RN here in the philippines. just recently checked cic page regarding student visas. im wondering if taking LPN course for 1yr in canada is a great idea. is it true that you can get a temporary work permit as LPN? can this one leads to PR later on?

@iamnomad. thnx for the reply! =) however im worried on the part of finding a sponsor after BP. im still confused if i will push this through or not.

@bigbrowneyes. yes i was also thinking about the downside of applying with little experience. =( but nweis thanx for replying!

i can relate to your friend. im also planning to apply AHPRA however my experience is holding me back. i only have 1yr and 6 mons experience. however i have a known somebody who applied last dec with the same no of yrs experience that i have and luckily she was accepted. i guess aphra is not that strict now adays with regards to experience. the only concern is finding a job after the bp. =( i hope someone can update us regarding the status of those who had finished BP. and their experience in finding a job or a sponsor.

hi! iamnomad! may i know if how much experience do you have when you applied to aphra? is it ok to applu even if you have less than 2yrs experience?

hi @bigbrowneyes im new here.=) im glad you mentioned about having less than 1yr experience but still managed to get an approval from aphra. im confused since alot of agency now adays req 2-3yrs of hosp experience in order to apply to aphra. is that 1900 hrs experience continous was it paid experience? did aphra had any ff up question regarding your experience? i hope you can answer my questions. thnx! =)
