Is it possible to be a pediatric nurse and move to Canada?
Hi :) I'm only 16, but nearly 17 and next year I'm going to university to get my degree in Child Nursing. I was just wondering can you be a pediatric nurse and live in Canada? I heard that countries like USA, Canada and Australia are very hard to move to and live there. I heard you special jobs that they want and need, like cook and electrician. My science teacher said that with nursing you can travel the world, but is it possible to be able to live in Canada while being a nurse? Thank you xoxo

Have you by any chance seen this? http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp It might help you a considerable amount if you're serious. I'm also inclined to mention that Canada is not nearly as uptight over immigration as the USA and to a lesser extent, Australia.

Are you coming from the UK? The difficulty with moving to Canada(and the US) is that our nurses are not specialist trained, we are trained as general nurses. You need theory and clinical hours in child, adult, OB and mental health nursing to be licensed over here. In Canada you must have your BSN for licensure. One excellent resource for questions like yours is the International Forum at allnurses.com.

My (Canadian) daughter chose to become a Public Health Nurse. It was a very, very good choice. She's working the hours she wants, and she loves the work. Since the 1960s, it has been more 'feminist' to become a doctor than a nurse, and most of the nurses who trained before then are now retiring. There is a growing scarcity of nurses. However, the demand for pediatric nurses is -> relatively <- low. Because the 'Baby Boomers' are now going grey, there's going to be a very strong demand for all geriatric medical workers of all sorts. Nursing is a very wise career choice!

Oh yes, go for it. Find a college in Canada and get the credentials there. Canada is a Socialist country, they take everyone.

You do not lneed to learn French to move to 80% of Canada. But if you get an RN, ans express willingness to live in a smaller community further north, then you might.

I would probably say "yes". Canada has a "Skilled Worker Program" and Quebec has its own equivalent version. You can take the test to try a self-assessment to see if you qualify. Just punch in the appropriate responses, such as saying you are a nurse and have french language skills, to see what type of score you would get. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assess/index.asp According to Canada's website, Nursing is a job that is "in demand" in Canada and qualifies you for an accelerated immigration status. Of course, to become a nurse, you would have had to qualify from a certified program. You may want to consult with the Canadian embassy or consulate in your current country to see if a degree from a particular tech school would be acceptable in Canada.

It sounds very promising. There is a shortage of trained nurses in Canada, and with that skill, and the willingness to move to a rural or northern community, you would probably have no difficulty. And, after a few years, you would have experience, would have fulfilled your requirements and would be able to move to a metropolitan center. Or wherever you wished. You don't need to learn french - unless you want to work in Quebec.

In Canada , Quebec provinance is French Speaking area and also offer immigration to people and the pass marks to qualify as a immigrant for this provinance is less if compare with Federal Skilled Worker immigration. But if you want to go other provinances of Canada as a immigrant , so first of all you should find your profession/occuptions in the 38 list of occuptions, if your occuption is in the list then you can qualify for Federal skilled worker. Points are divided into different factors, e.g Education consists of maximum 25 points, if you got 25 points then there will be no chance of more points in this factor. So, for the degree in nurse give you points in education factor and if you are experianced then according to it points in jobs experiance sector. But one strong point for you is Language ability in French, from where you can obtain maximum 8 points in frecnh language rather then 16 points of English Language.

Is the Australian RN degree equivalent to the Canadian RN degree
Is the Australian RN degree equivalent to the Canadian RN degree?
Is the Australian Bachelor of Nursing Science degree equivalent to the Canadian Bachelor of Science in Nursing? If I obtained a degree in Australia, is it transferable to Canada? I had e-mailed the College of Nurses in Ontario to find out, but they said that I needed to apply for an assessment. I'm nowhere near ready to apply for an assessment, so I was just wondering if anyone else had experience in the matter. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It should be. If I were you, pose your query to other universities and see what their take is.

Your education would have to be evaluated by the college of nurses )our licensing bodies are called colleges) in the province in which you want to be licensed. Most of the provinces in Canada require a 4 year BSN for initial licensure

If I graduate from a nursing school in Canada, is it possible to work in Canada after wards
If I graduate from a nursing school in Canada, is it possible to work in Canada after wards?
I'm from the US and I am currently attending a community college. I plan to transfer to a 4-year to earn my degree in Nursing and then go to Medical School. I was considering a school out of the US and I am comfortable with Canada. If I end up wanting to stay in Canada and work, is it possible after I earn my degree? Or do I have to go back to the states and apply for citizenship. Thanks! I wanted to work as an emergency nurse before going to medical school to study emergency medicine.

After Nursing school? Do you mean after Medical school? Or are you planning on a gap between the two. You will have to find a job pretty quickly, preferably while you are still in school, then have your student visa transferred over to a work one. Yes, that is very possible. But there is a certain amount of time (which is different for every country) that you can stay after graduation to find a job, and in some countries there are programs that you an apply into that will allow you to stay longer and not be sponsored. That information will all be on the International page on the website of the school that you are looking to attend. You do not just apply for citizenship! You must remain in the country working (not while you are in school) for whatever period of time they designate, which is usually five years. Then you will follow the rest of the guidelines and take the test for citizenship. It is not exactly that simple but you have quite a while before worrying about that as you cannot start maintaining your residency while you are in school.

If you are in Canada on a student visa you will have to retrun home in order to apply for a work visa so you can work legally in Canada. You should be aware that as a foreign student you will pay double the tuition fees for any school in Canada. I have one question. If you are planning on going to medical school to become a doctor, why are you bothering with nursing school? Nursing school is not a step towards becoming a doctor and education wise you will have to start back at square one. You will not be able to work as a nurse while in medical school as medical school is very demanding.You will also be taking up a space in a nursing school that could be occupied by someone who wants to be a nurse. best of luck.
