Not likely. Standards and practices are sufficiently different that your Philippine qualifications won't quite allow you to take any Canadian exams. You would need to check with the nursing association of whatever province applies to you. Canada has about 1 and a half million (yes, that's 1,500,000) unemployed citizens some of whom are nurses. What few jobs there may be won't go to foreigners but to one of our own people so you're up against a lot of other Canadian nurses.

No you need to have your BSN to qualify as a nurse in Canada.

I agree with the other answers, a Bachelor's is now the minimum to become a nurse in Canada before taking the CRNE (Canadian license exam). The USA still accepts associate's degrees however, so if you don't want to study another two years for a BSn then you could try there. Good luck.

Transferring college credits from USA to Canada, possible
Transferring college credits from USA to Canada, possible?
Hi guys, i really need help and find all the helpful information as possible. I'm basically trying to transfer my credits in United States into Canada, I'm going for a BSN (bachelor in nursing). Is this possible for me to finish my degree in Canada? I have a place to stay and everything i just want to know if its possible. Also if my credits were transferred, can i apply for a permanent citizenship, working permit, or anything at all while going to school in Canada? Thank you, any advice would be nice.

It should be possible, although you may need to redo some of your nursing coursework. This would happen if you were to transfer to a new uni in the US as well. Don't be shocked if this happens. The US and Canadian uni systems are similar enough that you should be able to "transfer credits" and get some sort of advanced standing in the Canadian degree. Keep in mind that the financial aid you may be getting in the US won't follow you to Canada. I don't know if any Canadian unis offer financial aid to foreign students, so you'd need to ask about that. In terms of fees, you'll need to pay the international (or US, if it's offered) student rate, which is normally higher than the rate for Canadians. You also need to prove, for your student visa, that you have those funds: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study-who.asp I believe that nursing is still considered a high demand occupation in Canada, and that will increase your chances of obtaining a work permit there. In addition, the fact that you got your degree in Canada will also help toward that. Canada uses a sort of a points system re: immigration, so having a degree from a Canadian uni, having studied nursing, that all adds points. Other things that may add points are things like having ancestral ties to Canada, speaking French fluently, etc. To apply to stay on in Canada, you'd go this route: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/index.asp

What is a big city live and raise a family in Vancouver, Canada and surrounding areas
What is a big city live and raise a family in Vancouver, Canada and surrounding areas?
I really wanted to move to London from St. Louis, MO but my fiance isn't having it. We have a daughter and by the time we will be ready to move she'll be around 5. I want to live in a big city with some type of hussle and bussle. But I also want to consider living somewhere safe that has decent schools for her to go to. I will have my nursing degree and he has 9 years experience in Food and resturant management. Any considerations? Please... I need enough time to plan.

Your degree may not be valid in Canada But Vancouver is great mild climate great people . If you like the out doors start packing now. The olympics are comming in 2010 . Lots of work now. medicare for everyone About a hundred dollars for a family. Hospital free . Bus passes tax deductable . Go to hellobc and tourismvancouver they have free giudes to mail

Is that London, England or London, Ontario you were interested in, because England is so expensive that I don't know how anyone can afford to live there (maybe that will make you feel better since your fiance says no way). As far as moving to Canada, instead of look at locations, maybe start by looking at what you would require as far as immigration for your family. Check out what you would require as far as being able to use your nursing degree (likely upgrading and testing to qualify). I know many nurses who have left Canada for the USA because they were offered a lot more money to work there, and the Canadian nursing qualification is considered better than the US. Relocating between our 2 countries and being able to earn a living is not the easiest thing to do and takes a lot of patience and time with the bureaucratic process.

i love new westminster, we have all kinds of fairs, festivals, celebrations, and every thing. we also have a waterfront quay, that has fireworks on holidays and special events. Its a great place has great history and schools. and some really nice housing. Its safe and has its own fire station, police force, and ambulance system and hospitals. Before Victoria, we were also the capital of the province! there are parts of New Westminster that are busy and other parts that are quiet and have beautiful housing. we also have a few great parks, my favourite is Queens park it has a spray park, petting zoo and little kids park and a big kids park, there is also a concession open in the summer. we have lots of recreation. two swimming pools, one indoor and one outdoor open in the summer. We are also very close to Vancouver which is very nice.

You would need to apply for a Canadian nursing license, which would include writing and passing the CRNE and you would also need to get a work visa or apply for immigration.
