NCLEX-RN
One exam serves both Canada and the United States. Cohort teaching, question banks, and the parts Filipino candidates most often lose marks on.
English — IELTS / OET
The language score is where good nurses stall. Taught for the exam, not in general.
French — the open door
Canada runs French-proficiency immigration draws with dramatically easier cut-offs, and Quebec recruits Filipino nurses directly. Almost nobody in Manila teaches nurses French. We do.
Straight answers
The two pathways, without the sales pitch
Canada
Roughly 12–30 months door to door.
NNAS assessment, then the provincial regulator, then NCLEX, then a healthcare or provincial immigration draw. Pay in the range of C$70,000–110,000.
United States
Roughly 2.5–4+ years, most of it visa queue.
CGFNS, then NCLEX, then an employer files the petition, then the visa bulletin wait — and a green card on arrival. Pay in the range of US$75,000–110,000.
What it costs you, honestly: roughly US$1,500–2,500 in exams and paperwork, whichever country you choose. Placement itself is paid by the employer. Anyone who asks a nurse for a placement fee is telling you what they are. Run both tracks in parallel if you can — one NCLEX serves both, Canada for speed, the American petition queued as the long game.
Cohorts
Tell us where you are
No fee to be on this list, and being on it promises nothing except that we will tell you when a cohort opens and what it actually costs.
What we are not. We are not a recruitment agency and we never will be — only agencies licensed by the Philippine Department of Migrant Workers may recruit or deploy you. We teach; licensed partners deploy; the employer pays. Anybody who blurs that line is putting your money and your licence at risk.
