thank you so much for ur reply.I heart that language requirement cn be waved in ontario incase u have 6 month canadian work experience.is it true?
Any ans ll be appreciated.

I am not sure about the experience in canada (they told me minimum 2 years as i was outside canada) but regardless you still have to provide evidence as it wont be waived automatically. With USA experience of more than 2 years i was told it won't be waived automatically. I submitted the docs as per their instructions and I am awaiting my waiver.

Submit the evidence if you feel with the kind of experience you have, it can be waived and present a case for yourself to CNO. Hopefully it will all work out well.

If you have any additional concerns/questions specific to your situation/experience send CNO an email they will reply with what they might need from you.

Hi All,

I recently got PR of Canada and I am registered nurse in India., did MSc Nursing in India. My experience is mainly as a Clinical Instructor (Teaching) and last employment was Sep'16. What I have understood from this Forum I have listed below and for some I require help from the seniors of the forum, kindly advise:

1. Education evaluation by NNAS. I have created the profile:
   1. What documents needs to be send to NNAS? -- NNAS will have forms in the application section you need to send documents accordingly
   2. What is better: documents from the University from which College was affiliated or from the College directly? - I gave from College and they were fine with it but it has to be Transcipts + Entire Course Curriculum
2. Employment evaluation by NNAS:
   1. Should it be done for last 5 years of employment or for entire experience? - This should be fine
3. Nursing Registration evaluation by NNAS:
   1. I studied from two different states of India and the later state council gave registration for both courses cancelling the registration of previous state ( this is the process, latest state council registration holds valid, and previous states are cancelled). Thus I can provide Nursing registration from last state only, would this be an issue? --- If you got license/registration you need to provide evidence that you once hold the registration from that state - Try to check with the previous state I think they can help you out. NNAS form will have start and end date you can provide old registration information withstart and end date. They need this registration details because they want to confirm with all the registration body you practice with you were in good standing at that time. Kindly verify with NNAS they will guide you as every country the process is different regarding registration process
4. is the CELBAN or IELTS exam necessary for NNAS evaluation, I did not see anything related to CELBAN while creating the profile, may be I missed something, please advise. - Its not required for NNAS but CNO will ask for it and depending on your experience you may qualify for waiver.
5. Post the NNAS evaluation, I need to register at the Province body for further steps. Yes

Check my answer inline in your post. Good Luck!!

RPN and RN are different so practice as RPN doesn't count as practice for RN.

After expiry of practice you have to start your degree from the beginning. You can't apply for RN exam until the licensing body invites you to.

Anyone who’s taking some course from
Athabasca or St.Xavier universiry for competency Gaps?

About me;
I had the osce test in Jan and need to fulfill some gaps.
However all schools replied me back

Now i am going back to my country to update out of nursing practice.( my nursing practice has expired last year)
In addition, i will take courses from St.Xavier uni from Sep.
I can’t imagine how hard each course is going to be.
Hope to go through really smoothly and get registration next year.
