I don't know what ielts are so I'm assuming I didn't take it. I really can't make any specific suggestions for you since everyone has their each way of doing things. For me when I was waiting for my OIIQ result I was half panicking and looking for other options in case nothing would work out. So opening your options and researching is important but I wouldn't dip my toes in every single option possible, you should make a decision on what your next step would be since the options you listed seem to be all very different

After I passed the OIIQ exam I called the CNO and explained to them my situation (on how I don't have the full RN license due to the French language law) and I wanted to transfer my license. The guy initially told me that it was not possible since it's not a full license but I told him that I knew other people that have done it before so he put me on hold for 20min and then told me that it was possible and that he will send me the papers for the transfer (I already had an account with the CNO because I registered myself in case I wanted to take the CRNE). So not everyone that picks up the phone at the CNO are aware of Quebecs laws and you may need to push your way into it. They will mail you application forms that asks for proof of education, some parts where the OIIQ have to fill out indicating that you passed an equivalent exam etc. after that they would want you to send a police criminal records form (which you have to pay and receive from the police department). I may be missing some parts out because I did this process quite some time ago but all in all it took several months because they don't send all the papers at once and OIIQ takes forever to fill the papers out too and my school took forever in sending the proof of education as well everything is just really really slow. And then you'll finally pay the registration fee to CNO then you're good to go.

Hey! I was able to transfer my license after a long and painful process and recently got a job in Ottawa, it took a lot of work though, it was not an easy process

I was guaranteed a job in Montreal as long as I took the OIIQ, so I decided to take that exam since I heard many people were able to tranfer their license over to other provinces without having to pass the French exam. I know a few people who moved to BC and Alberta, but I wasn't too sure about Ontario.

I am currently a CPNP in Montreal Quebec. I passed the OIIQ exam but I`m not an RN yet because I didn`t pass their French language exam. I want to move to Ontario, and when I called the CNO, their first response was that since I`m not "registered", I can`t transfer my license from Quebec to Ontario. But I`ve heard of many people who have passed their OIIQ exam but not the French exam move to other provinces and are now RNs, so I kept telling them that and after a few minutes, the guy on the line told me he would send me some papers that the OIIQ would have to fill out and send to the CNO, and then the CNO would do some assessments to see if I meet all the requirements to be considered an RN in Ontario. (The paper was basically about what program and in what school I graduated from and what exam I passed, and if I was registered or not, etc). I recently handed in that paper and I`m waiting for CNO to assess it, but I can`t help but feel uneasy since they were so insistent in the beginning that I cannot be registered in Ontario unless I was registered in Quebec or if I pass the CRNE. Is there anyone here that has or is going through the same situation as I am? And if so, can they enlighten me with what exactly happened and what I am supposed to do? Thanks ahead!

I took the OIIQ exam in September 2013 and failed. I retook it the March 2014 exam and probably will be getting the result some time in April. But just in case I fail I started my application for the CNO so if I fail the second OIIQ exam I can just apply for the CRNE. My question is, 1) Are study materials different from the OIIQ than for the CRNE? I know the format is definitely different but is the material relatively the same in the sense that since I studied for the OIIQ I should be somewhat ready for the CRNE? (I would of course go through practice questions but background-wise would I be somewhat ready?) 2) I'm going to be registering for the June 2014 CRNE, would start studying when I find out my OIIQ result, would that be enough time for me to study? (since I have the background knowledge from studying for the OIIQ exam?) Thanks ahead for the replies!
