Also mass mababa ang ielts rqmnts nila don compared sa tinatahak naten! Kayanin natin sis... Apir! Hahaha

Hello! Am a nurse myself working on getting my license here in Canada and same time sponsoring my hubby from Philippines. Allnurses.com re:international nursing is a must check-out to get some ideas on how to apply for canadian nursing licensure. Also, every province has it's own licensing body kaya dapat check it out too. SRNA (Saskatchewan) and CARNA (Alberta) just to name a few. There's a lot of infos frome their websites that we IENs (internationally educated nurses) can use. Assessment for IENs takes a long time, i meant a loooonnng time, kaya even if you guys are still in Philippines or wherever, start getting your papers assessed na. Then waiting time won't be too long once landed in Canada. English exams: you can do IELTS or CELBAN ( there are other options too, just can't remember all of it). Although CELBAN is only offered in Canada, however it's far easier than IELTS in my opinion and it relates to our profession (nurse).Hope it helps. :)

Hi sis sa wakas nakahanap ako kaprovince ko! Yes ielts rqmnts for carna is high but we have no choice but to take it while we are still here i mean who knows if we made it then we could start the procesing so once we get there less time nlang anayin natin, if we dont make it here then we can stilt take the celban there... I just Think if others can why cant i? Lol thats not me im very nega hahaha. Anyway ielts is unlimited u just need to borrow money for the test fee hehe. Anyway do u know any website for free ielts review, practice practice practice esp our listening Lol!
