Thank you for your insight...I guess you are right, and must remember that things are done differently in the West... because when I applied to work in Brunei's Jerudong Hospital, everything was done in 6 weeks. The telephone interview came within days of my application and i received my letter of offer shortly after...

I think whether its USA or Canada, the process is the same, one must get a letter of offer from the hospital before I can submit my documents to the immigration. I guess I shouldn't have try doing this on my own, should have just sign on with the Jobsbliss people as most nurses do in this region. Its too time consuming running around getting all the documents ready.

Thank You. I am desperate, my contract in Singapore expires in October and I need to know my status quo in Toronto before I sign on again. Most of my friends are already working in the Toronto area.

I am an international applicant with a General Class Certificate from CNO, and applied for many RN posts in the Toronto area last month. I am a registered nurse with training in women health (2 years) and MICU (4 years). I have not heard from prospective hospitals...my questions are 1.) how long does it usually take before an interview takes place 2) Is it easier to go through an agency vs. solo, because friends who applied through agencies such as Jobsbliss.com are already working abroad.
