i would love to know how they can say they meet canadian language requirements when you are required to have ielts certificate which has to be submitted directly from the approved company the exam is sat with.

i can not understand how it takes 1 year to prepare you to sit the exam as a ien. i am a ien and studied for a couple of months and passed first time. admitedly i did a couple of courses that was aimed at ien but was able to do distant learning and it probably didn't cost me as much as it would to come and study in canada for 1 year as a international student. fees are higher for international students and you are restricted on how many hours you can work whilst at school and i doubt studying for 1 year will meet the requirements for obtaining pr

on the cic website it states minimum requirements

# have gained your experience in canada with the proper work or study authorization

# apply while working in canada – or – within one year of leaving your job in canada

# include the results of an independent language test (from an agency designated by cic) with your application

* skill type 0 (managerial occupations) or

* skill level a (professional occupations) or

* skill level b (technical occupations and skilled trades)

your application will be assessed on two requirements if you apply as a temporary foreign worker:

* your work experience and

* your ability in english or french.

if you apply as a graduate of a canadian post-secondary educational institution with canadian work experience, it will be assessed using the above requirements, as well as:

* your education.

Thanks for your reply SilverDragon. You are always a big help .

So, from your expert opinion do you think they are just hoaxing nurses here in the Philippines with the various different Study and work programs being offered ?

Do you have a link of the institution that you mentioned that you did online IEN ?

I would be suspicious of the part where they claim that passing the CRNE opens the door to a "huge job market".Many nurses already in Canada are struggling to find work.

Is there a governing body for educational institution in Canada where one can check accreditation and legality of a school ?

The courses I did was something at is approved by the provincial college and I think most provincial colleges will have something on their website on approved courses for IEN's. Even getting a study permit can be hard and if a medical is required, which if working in healthcare is a definite, the medical has to be done before a study permit will be issued.

The thing is if you meet provincial college requirements, get eligibility to sit CRNE and find a employer willing to go the TWP or PR route then you can apply for a graduate license which allows you to work whilst waiting to sit CRNE which will give you a hand on what is expected and how things work here in Canada. This also helps you study and some provinces hold local day courses that you can attend whcih prepares you for the exam

Never heard of it. I grew up in the lower mainland and visit home at least once a year.

Their locations aren't all that great.

It seems as if it is aimed solely at offshore students and not local.

If anything it makes me think people will confuse them with BCIT, which is a publicly funded school with a great reputation.

I am currently living and working in the lower mainland and quite frankly I haven't heard of this school, I just wonder where they send their students for clinical exposure?

Each provincial college designates a school that will offer a program for IENs to meet registration requirements. Here in BC, Kwantlen Polytechnic University and Thompson River University are "known" to offer the re-entry program for nurses. Just so you know, CRNBC as well as the other provincial colleges conduct individual assessments on applications and they determine what courses and programs you should take if need be.

This school's overly aggressive offshore "recruiting" of students for me is a red flag as legitimate schools here have a long wait list both for BSN and re-entry programs. Yet they don't have enough local enrollments? You better stay away from them!

If you meet CIC/Immigration requirements you can apply however IELTS will still be required by the college if the plan is to register as a RN in Canada if your first language is not French or English.

Studying to sit CRNE does not require a year and I would be surprised if it met CIC requirements

they were saying that 1 year CRNE preparation program consists of 8 months review classes and 4 months full time work experience as RN on an interm license. that work experience is with pay. i will be a student for one year. then after 2 years of working, may apply for PR under the Experience class, and then after 3 years as PR, may apply for Canadian citizenship.. what do u think about this? because i will be paying so much for this if you'll convert it to Philippine peso.
