Education credentials, Express entry, LPN
Hi I previously applied to CLPNA in 2014 and was granted a conditional licence until i sat the exam, however we did not emigrate but are now looking at the express entry route. Was wondering i would have to start the application process again to get my qualifications recognised to begin the EE process? TIA

I have had an email saying the decision made on my application as an lpn is still valid.

Ah that's excellent news! Time to book an exam then... Plus once you have registration hopefully you can apply and get a job offer (not sure on shortage in Alberta) but hopefully find someone willing to sponsor the LMIA process... And then you can apply via EE. Or look into provincial nomination in Alberta? That can get you the points required for EE too.

Would the fact that my education credentials have been checked to grant a conditional licence have any bearing on applying for EE? Or would i have to take exam and get licence before applying for EE? Its all confusing.

Have you tried the points calculator? I found I didn't have enough points for an ITA even assuming high language scores but yours might come out differently especially if you include a partner and we're possibly different ages. I suspect you need a job offer though but hopefully wrong..

If not, you'll need a LMIA/PNP nomination to score enough to be selected.
HTH.

Well without knowing anything about you, there are lots of ways our points could be different. Age is a factor- I suspect I'm older than you, I only counted my own language scores whereas I think you can use a partners language score too. If you spoke French or had a masters?
