Please help regarding CARNA
Hallo
I am new here but have been catching up on all the posts. I am a registered nurse going through the assessment with the CARNA, at present they are assessing my application but they just sent me this:
1. Photocopy of marriage certificate or notarized document indicating current
Surname and all other surnames that you have been known by.
They say this is outstanding, my problem is I was married in CONGO years ago when the country became unsettled we lost most of our documents. Does anyone know how I can go about proving my surname, I do not even have a birth certificate but hold a british passport, with both my maiden name and married name which I have sent to them. I apologise for such a long message. thank you

Re: Please help regarding CARNA
You may be able to swear in front of a court official in the local court to say that you were married on said date and that your name changed from your maiden name to your married name. The court official will sign a document and get it stamped with a court seal. I had to do this for the CRPNBC 6 years ago when I had changed my name by deed pole and lost the documentation.

Can i ask you where will you be going to work in Alberta? I am already here in Calgary working at the Foothills. There is a hiring freeze in Alberta. Just be careful cos they are not recruiting international nurses and even local ones. Dont resign yet. I dont want to sound pessimistic but just realistic. Sometimes I am just wondering if I made the right decision in coming here from the UK. I gave up my job as a top Band 6 to come here.
