Your degree is recognized anywhere. To seek employment in another country, it is to your advantage if you are already an RN in the Philippines. For Canada, here's an overview of the requirements. Good luck. http://www.medhunters.com/articles/licensingNursingCanada.html

Your nursing education is recognized but you will have to pass the CRNE and possibly take an oral proficiency test in English and/or French. For your information, several Filipino nurses came to the Canadian North a few years ago to work as nurses but they had to take the CRNE. There is a tremendous need for nurses in the Canadian North (Nunavut, Northwest Territories, Yukon) and the salary and benefit package is much better than in the other southern provinces. However, only a few of them were actually able to pass the test and keep their jobs. Those who didn't pass had to go back to the Philippines, which is a disappointment. I would recommend that you study hard before deciding to apply, especially on your oral and written English. If you are interested in nursing in the Northwest Territories, contact me and I can find more information for you. Incidentally, the Filipino community is the largest overseas community here and except for the weather, you will feel right at home.
