Hi iblessed, I finished with CARNA got the eligibility to get the temporary license and to sit the NCLEX. haven't done anything else as yet. Currently preparing for the exam. was told by CARNA not to apply for the work permit until the job is sure as it only lasts for 6 months and renewal is...

Ok, I called them periodically to find out the updates with regards to the processing. They are pleasant and accommodating, just give them your file # and they will check for you. My letter has no mention of a jurisprudence component. All the very best!

Thanks iblessed! Hi J, You can definitely apply to the regulatory body as they have the final decision in regards to your eligibility. Which province are you interested in? They will assess your documents and credentials alongside the info they get from NNAS to determine your next steps.

Hi, Sorry for the delay in updates. I did apply to CARNA and I got a package from them as well an email saying I am eligible to write the NCLEX as well apply for a temporary practice permit. TEF, when did you apply to CARNA? They took 8 weeks to compete my assessment and let me know the result...

I did my degree at NCU. Still waiting on CARNA. I have no outstanding documents for them now, last time I called them they don't have a backlog as bad as before. They working on May now, so lets see what happens from here.

Thanks, applying to Alberta I called CARNA on the 4th of May, they said they had a backlog and were currently processing applications from January. Don't know how fast these people work but that means 8- 10 weeks at minimum... hoping its faster. I don't know the time for the LPN processing, I...

NNAS take 2 months after receiving all documents to complete your assessment, so depending on how long you take to acquire all the documents, it can take a while. So I would start ASAP. I applied to them in Feb and they got all the documents by March; got my report the 1st of May. Oh, bear in...

So I received my NNAS report. It says 'Somewhat Comparable' (RN from Jamaica). Didn't expect to get 'Comparable" seeing I'm not from the U.S. Now to apply to the province and see what they require for the registration process.

Anybody at all got a positive report from NNAS?

Couple months max I think depending on what they require from you. Example, some persons require IELTS academic, whereas others wouldn't. I applied to NNAS on the 3rd of February 2015. Status changed to "Ready for Review" on the 31st of March 2015. They have a 15 business day period to verify...

I'm from Jamaica. I have applied through Express Entry, waiting to get an ITA. I have registered with the Job Bank, but it is quite difficult to get jobs through the Job Bank being outside of Canada and what makes it worse we work in a regulated profession. What you can do is contact some...

Hi. NNAS is for licensure and registration as a nurse in Canada. You have to register with them, pay the fee $650usd and fill out the application forms. They will inform you of the documents you need to send to them. For example, documents to prove your identity, documents from your employer...

CIC has already made a CEC specific draw... Maybe it's time we have a FSW specific one now.

All the best iblessed. Hey still waters, not sure re the NCLEX but you would still have to go through NNAS. Don't see why you would need to do it again though. Have you finished NNAS as yet?

Hey chasinglight. Ok, why is she working as LPN if she did her Bachelors in Jamaica. I know NNAS assesses based on nursing group. Which nursing group would she do the assessment for? Has she started the process yet?

Thanks iblessed. Are you registered as a RN now? How long did the whole process take for you? I'm waiting on NNAS now then apply to a couple provinces for registration.

Wish I found this thread earlier. I applied to NNAS on February 2, 2015 and my status changed to "Ready for Review" today, March 30, 2015. I spoke to an agent and she advised that they were 2 weeks behind as someone said before. Anyone applying from the Caribbean? I am applying from Jamaica.

Did you apply under a specific stream? Employment or Support Stream?

Hi, You only require IELTS academic if English is not your first language and you were not taught or practiced in English. PR process is correct, however if you don't have a high CRS score you may not get ITA anytime soon. Going through NNAS to get a job offer is kind of a back up because you...

You got an acknowledgement?? What did it say?
