Random Topic in a Random Place: CGFNS VisaScreen

Published

So I had a question and posted in a different post but no one answered. And I started a new topic.

Ok that's out of the way. :wacky:

So for the VisaScreen application: I wanted to know how long it took for the application to be approved if all the documents were sent and there were no more obstacles after that.

Thanks!

Silky, I'm also Canadian and lived near the border. That changes nothing. TN status is for Canadians, Mexicans and Americans to work in each other's countries. You need visascreen to get TN. You need CES to get VSC. I know it sucks, waste of time and money. Heck, you think that's bad? After I sent all that stuff in, my BON of choice made me write the GED. I had just given them my college degree, but they needed to know I could pass their high school equivalency. And let me tell you, if GED is any indication of the quality of their high school education, our Canadian system is WAY better in that regard!

Okay. So I'm gonna sound like creeper here. But I went on your page and looked at your topics there. I noticed you said you were from Quebec. Now I'm not being mean or prejudiced here, but I think because you were from Quebec, the CES people didn't think you were competent because you spoke French, went to a French school (I think) and I think because of that, they thought the Canadian (French) wasn't on the same level as their high school standards. I know the French schools in Canada do things a little differently from the English-speaking schools, but I honestly think they are both competent and on a higher level than the American standards.

To the Americans out there, this is just my opinion. I have nothing against Americans.

OK to be clear CES report is a breakdown of your school transcripts. Visa screen certificate is something that is required as a medical profession person who requires something that states you have met federal requirements to be a nurse in the US of which part of the requirements for VSC is a pass in either CGFNS exam or NCLEX. Your parents who worked under the TN would not have required VSC but may have had to show something similar to state that they had the relevant qualifications to do that job
