Dear all
I'm a RN in India with 5 years of nursing experience. The Canada immigration bug bit me. I shall explain my aim and factors that made me decide the path.
I wish to be a RN in Canada at the earliest possible. Govt colleges providing courses for NCLEX RN were not found, hence found a private college which gives the concerned training just for this exam as well as Celban and Ielts. My Ielts score in academic is 6.5 overall after several trials. The program is for 12 months but can be extended for some more time until I clear the exam.
The idea is to clear RN/LPN exam and find a job or get PR before my visa expires. Also in between be able to bring in spouse so that he could also work.
As I said, becoming RN in Canada at the earliest is the aim. Hence not worrying about the higher cost involved. But I think this is the cheapest option for this plan.
Why am I not going the PR route directly?
I think processing for PR and later getting it, would take near to 1 year at the fastest.
Even if I get PR I would have to again train myself for NCLEX RN and CELBAN. So I would have spend more time in achieving the same.
Now please help me decide finally if I'm making a good choice or if I have alternate path. Your replies would give more information to a beginner like me.
Thank you very much.
