Hi Guys, i also received an LOI on the 22nd but i have some issues i need some answers on. I have a nursing Diploma from Nigeria and Medical Degree from China however i applied for EE using Nursing as my Primary Profession because i had 5 years experience as a registered nurse in my home country prior to medical school however my WES evaluation has an added note on the nursing degree: The credential is not comparable to a completed Canadian education credential.
After checking online, i realised that most diploma nurses from my country also had similar issue with WES verification but when they used IQAS it was properly verified. So my question is should i go ahead and apply using the letter of interest sent while also starting a new ECA with IQAS? and also should verify both degrees with IQAS or only my nursing?
Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks.
IQAS ECA takes 6-8 months results, so I think it would be impossible to wait for it since NS LMPS only gave applicants 2 months to submit full application..the draw states at least Bachelor degrees in Nursing or above. Nevertheless, i suggest to contact NS, explain your side and wait for their answer.

Good afternoon everyone. I have been in the pool since last year August with CRS 400 currently, although my score was below 400 when I entered the pool. My noc is 3012. Let me share my profile here:
Age-32
Years Of Experience- Above 5 years. My question is this... I worked in a hospital for 3 years, thereafter I started working as a site nurse. I noted the 3 years job experience, so do I need to add other experience?
ECA- Two or more certificates
IELTS- LRWS(7, 7,7,7.5)
I have extra 15 points.
Please, I wish to know the CRS point of those that got NOI and other information that would be of great help to me.
I am open to advice. Please, I need your assistance. I am waiting for your responses. Thanks!!!!
I have been checking my mail since Friday to see if there will be a miracle.

Actually I applied for Alberta and not Nova Scotia so im quite shock when I received a Letter of Interest from them.
I have been in the pool since January 29, 2020. CRS 359. Me and my husband are both nurses. I dont know why I got chosen but Im grabbing the opportunity☺

Might as well check your chosen province and click Nova Scotia. Don't lose hope☺

U re a wonderful soul, thanks!!! Let me update my profile. I worked in a hospital for 3 years.(2010-2013).Thereafter,I started working as a site nurse with different companies but did not add the experience to my profile.. I don't kw whether they queried the gap or not? I need to update my work experience to be on the safe side.

Yes! I think you need to put all of your experience with noc 3012. That'll will boost your chances .
