US educated and working RN looking to move back home to Canada - NNAS experience?

Published

I am a born and raised Canadian, who lived (for 15 years) and studied in California, where I received my BSN RN. My question is, my family of 5 wants to move back to Canada, BC in particular. I have 2.5 years of hospital experience to date. I applied through NNAS this year, and as of this month, all my documents have been submitted. I am looking to talk to those who have walked this road.

How long after submitting all documents, did you receive an answer from NNAS?

After receiving an answer (hopefully yes), and applied for your RN license in Canada, how long did it take for that province to approve your license?

Were any additional tests or schooling needed in your case?

Was your NNAS application approved?

We have a move date of January 2019, and absolutely want to be moved by August 2019, so that our middle child can start kindergarten (she will be a year behind, due to enrollment dates that are later here in California). I am in the process of applying for my kids and husbands citizenship papers, which I have heard takes about 4-6 months once all documents are received.

Any and all information regarding NNAS applications, time and hick-ups (or lack there of) are greatly appreciated...
