The Canadian Nurses Regulator Collaborative (CNRC) has recently announced that the Occupational English Test (OET) is now accepted as a valid English language proficiency test for nurses in Canada. The required scores are as follows: a minimum of C+ in reading, C+ in writing, B in speaking, and B in listening.
The Canadian Nurses Regulator Collaborative (CNRC) is an organization that brings together nursing regulatory bodies across Canada. Its primary role is to facilitate collaboration and communication among these regulatory bodies to ensure consistency in nursing standards and practices across the country. The CNRC works to enhance the regulation of the nursing profession, promote high standards of practice, and ensure that the public receives safe and competent nursing care.
The Occupational English Test (OET) is also accepted for doctors in Canada as a measure of English language proficiency. The acceptance of OET by medical regulatory authorities helps ensure that international medical graduates possess the necessary language skills to effectively communicate and provide quality care to patients. The specific score requirements for doctors may vary depending on the regulatory body, but generally, they include high proficiency in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. It is advisable for doctors to check with the relevant medical regulatory authority in Canada for detailed requirements and updates
