Applying for a school that doesn't require writing ielts
You can check it out on google if you doubt

Okay, but only lazy students would pay someone 5k for something a Google search will give them. However, I know lots of people want to be spoonfed so 5k is a little price to pay for their laziness.

Please I need some piece of advice concerning the next step to take. I'll be graduating from Nursing School by May and I'm weighing my options;
- Getting my bsc through direct entry. (4 years)
- Acquiring my RM certificate through post basic midwifery ( 1yr 6mths) and use the time to get prepared financially for the transition process.
Honestly, the thought of spending for another 4 years in a Nigerian university is terrifying, considering the hassles attached to it.
Please, I need a second opinion. Your response will be really appreciated.

I'd advice you to not spend any more time schooling in naija. Work and gather your money to move to UK. When you get there you can bridge your Rn to BSN for as little as 1year. No knowledge is wasted if you choose to go for midwifery, but it's your time you would waste.

Hello everyone. I had an interview with Allison Jones Consulting firm on the 14th of January, 2021 for HCA position. I saw their job advert on indeed.com for IEN's. During the interview, I was told that once successful I wld pay the sum of 6,700usd in 3 installments for LMIA and others. On the employment policy form, it's written no fees from candidates but I don't know why such huge fee was mentioned during the interview session. I want to find out if anyone has heard about them and how genuine they are. They have a website and a Facebook page which I had gone through but still not convinced. From the research I made, fee for LMIA is I,000CAD . Please people in Alberta should also help me to verify. Make person no enta one chance. Thanks all. Waiting for your respnses.

Bro, na better one chance be that imo.
First red flag is that employees are not to pay for LMIA. It is against the Canadian law for the employee to pay for such. Secondly recruiting a HCA from abroad is also shady as it is not an occupation in demand, nor is it skilled enough to warrant international staffing.

Happy new year everyone

I'm a bnsc nurse with 3 years work experience after graduation. I've been doing my masters (health related but not nursing) and have not worked as a nurse since 2018. I want to migrate to Canada and I want to know if its possible to work as an RN without NNAS process. My research so far indicates that internationally educated nurses will have to apply to NNAS first so they can determine one's level in nursing and then prescribe any bridging courses/practicals that will qualify the person to write a licensing exam. I heard their process takes 2 to 5 years so I'd like to know if there is a shortcut. Is there a short university program I can do to brush up on my nursing skills and qualify me for the licensing exams without applying through NNAS? If anybody else has had any experience with them, can they share please? Any input would be appreciated.

Your research is mostly correct. There is no way to get your license recognized without NNAS. The only thing you can do is retake your bachelors degree. There are after degree nursing programs that you would qualify for and they are 2yeard long. It is just a compressed 4yr curriculum so its like nursing from scratch.

OK, thanks a lot. Quite depressing cry to hear this! But the marriage idea, wink not a bad one, though it may not be feasible to marry in under 6 months. In such an instance where one overstayed and married after about 1 or 2 years, would the PR not work out?
PS PLEASE pardon my awkward questions. There may be hundreds of other people here who might find themselves in this situation, and the responses and advice rendered here might be of immense help to them too. Thanks once again.smiley
Canada is very strict about over staying visa. Honestly you would be useless to yourself in those 2yrs because unlike usa, there are very limited under the table jobs. So fending for yourself will be a nightmare. Regulating your visa even after marriage may be difficult because you may be faced with a Ban for overstating which would render you inadmissible. Also that will cost you thousands of dollars to hire a very good lawyer with no assurance.

Thank you very much for your in-depth response, Vicky. Ugh, Nigeria never fails to disappoint her citizens!angry Please what viable means could one achieve this PR through the visitor's visa route? Studying overseas is rather too expensive. Thanks.
There is no route to get PR status through a visitors visa route. Except of course in the 6mths of visiting, you fall in love and marry a citizen or permanent resident.

Make sure you nail your IELTS Band 7

Note that not all schools require ielts. So its best you check first with the school you want to attend.

Please if one comes to Canada with a visitor's visa, what's the next step to becoming a nurse's aide? And is it a pathway to PR? If yes, how long might it take to achieve PR through this path? Thanks.smiley
A visitor's visa give you rights to visit ONLY.
You would need to exit the country and apply for student visa from your country of residence. Any form of study in Canada with a study permit is a pathway to PR. However you can not use a healthcaere aide admission to file for your student visa from Nigeria because heslthcare aides are not recognized in Nigeria. And the major aim of your student visa application is to proof that the studying you are embarking on would be beneficial to the Nigerian society and your life back here in Nigeria.

Hello
Sorry to bother you, please can you or anyone shed more light on Omni and what it's all about?

If you read through previous posts, you would find all the discussion and arguments about Omni.

In summary, graduating from Omni does not equal you having a license to practice. Omni can be likened to an organized Jamb lecture. Knowledge gained is useful in attempting your jamb, but it doesn't qualify you to take jamb (thats more your secondary school or proof you have graduated from a secondary school).

Tell you sister to focus on IELTS if her goal is to practice as a nurse in Canada

Once she is able to conquer IELTS she can then apply for adaptation program in Canada with OMNI college 6m-1yrs program

But I will advice her to focus on UK for now since you're not that financially buoyant

Let her sit for OET and. CBT

These types of programs at Omni DONOT guarantee you your license. Best option is if you enter Canada with Omni admission, change school and study to be a health care aide (manitoba 1year). Ensure your study permit is still valid and apply for Pgwp. Use Mpnp to get PR status then go back to school as a PR to study nursing.

Hi,

Please i need some guidance on the Canada process. It seems the information here is for folks with a Bsc/Msc in nursing, my younger sister just finished from a 3yr program at a school of nursing in Nigeria, not a bec program. what are her options to migrate to Canada? She has no work experience so I am considering having her travel via the student route since no work experience for PR but i dont even know what programs she needs to apply for because the information on the websites that i have checked is confusing...i dont know anything about nursing. What is the best course/program that she can apply to, cost effectiveness is also key so can she leverage her 3yr program from Nigeria to reduce her length of study/conversion. Ultimately the goal is for her be able to practise as a nurse here without us going bankrupt lol. Thank you for your help

Congrats on her graduation.
*For Canada, you are right that she doesn't qualify for PR right now.
*Her options for study permit is a BSN program at any university she can afford.
* she can not trade any of her Nigerian RN education for credit in any BN program as she isn't a Canadian RN at this time.
*schools for undergrad BN would cost from 18k to 30k tuition alone.

My advice, go to the UK work and bridge your diploma into BSN and or a masters degree. Use express entry to return to Canada and start the licensure program. Migrate to Montreal Quebec as I gathered their process is less tedious.

I thought as much. Thank you so much sis.
Can 1 year internship fly? Or what do you suggest?
It depends, bit you can check your CRS score to specifically estimate how many years experience she would need. Judging from the current trend of very high scores, 1 year experience with just one degree would not yield the type of scores that gets drawn these days (470s upwards). To score that kind of score one generally needs to be below 30yrs have at least 2 degrees or a masters, and have 3 years work experience.

Should I call it traineeship or so. She is looking for somewhere to practise as a student Nurse. Hope that's clearer
Work experience can only start counting after you graduate from your program. So she would need to finish writing her council exam ist before any experience starts counting.

4......you will upload your diploma cert, bsn cert, notification or statement of result. Whichever applies to you

They do not pay so much attention to high school. In any event, she can always get her jss1 to ss1 transcript from the other school.

Pls a friend need your assistance.

I attended two secondary schools. The 1st secondary school for 6years but I didn't make my O' level (WAEC) results here, I don't even have the school testimonial report.

But in my 2nd secondary school which I spent just 2years(just Jss2&3), here, I have my complete O' level (WAEC) results and I also have the school testimonial.

Please, which of the above secondary schools will you advise me to use while filling CGFNS CES form to avoid issues when sending my secondary school transcript? and why?

Thanks in anticipation of your response.
Use the same school you used for ur nursing school admission. Reason is simply because of consistency.

Well, the battle is far from being over. I'd advice you focus on securing your Visa first before you start putting too much of yourself into the idea. Admission is easy to get for canada but the Visa officers are the major issue.

If you have successfully secured your visa, then congrats and heed to the advice that asked you to relax and enjoy the little time you have left soaking in love and your community before you travel.

Hello Master, I am a registered Nurse, Please i will like to have your contact, i am on an expectant and a potential winnipeg resident, incase you are too busy with your contact, here are some questions for your assistance,

why do you chose Canada Over USA knowing that you have Nclex for America as a Nurse,

Here is my email address :

or a whats app message on
I have always loved Canada and liked USA but my decision to remain in Canada and be subjected to a whole lot of BS in trying to get a license here is solely because of the slow rate of the USCIS and the Trump ban. That being said, in this year 2020, let's just say other things in my life are aligned more towards Canada than the states, so i am less eager to relocate there. Canada is a much better environment for the African children i hope to have someday so that's also part of my consideration. I would go to the states to work part time but I have no intentions of becoming American. I would soon be able to say I am Canadian, and for that I am super excited. Nursing here surely would take me longer to practice but am working on it. Personally, I decided that I would complete the BN program in my city due to a mirage of complications I would have to bear if I want to assess my credentials through NNAS and the entire process.

NB this is a public space so you may want to remove your phone number. Let's keep the discussion on the thread so it can grow. Thanks and I wish you the very best.

To practice as a nurse, you would need to hold a valid nursing license. You may get admitted for a masters in nursing science without a clinical component but graduating from that doesn't make you a registered nurse.

Please friends @ vickyehi and others who are more informed I need answers to these questions.As a graduate nurse with RN, and RM and Bnsc,In comprehensive ranking system for Canada,do they count these qualification as just one with a degree,or one with a degree and diploma certificates?Also when the same provincial nomination,Are they talking about be nominated by a relative in Canada?
What it counts as is whatever the evaluator (iqas, ices, wes) says it is equivalent to. In the past, some people have been successful in isolating each degree and getting a report saying 2 or more certificates.
Provincial nomination means that the province (states) find you as a good fit to relocate and establish in their province. You mustn't have a relative there to nominate you (that only applies in some provinces such as Saskatchewan and manitoba). Each province have their criteria, so read about their criteria to know which you qualify for.
