What's my job in Canada if I won't take their exam for nurses

What's my job in Canada if I won't take their exam for nurses?
I am a nurse in the Philippines. I also passed the NLCEX for the US and currently licensed for Vermont. If I do migrate to Canada and decide to not take their exam for nurses there, can I still land jobs? Will I be a nursing aid or nursing assistant. Or do those jobs still need exams? What kinds of jobs can I find that match my degree?

You cannot get a nursing job in Canada unless you pass the exam.You may be able to work as a caregiver but you would not qualify for a work visa as a caregiver.You would have to applying under a skilled worker visa and that would require a nursing license. If you want to work in Canada as a nurse you must write the exam.

immigrant nurse in Canada?
situation. what if someone becomes an immigrant in Canada (as a given) ok. They have a background degree in nursing (bachelors) from their home country but failed to get any experience as a nurse after qualifying. What are the chances of them applying as a nurse in Canada?? do they need to go back to their home country to get the neessary skills and experience to qualify in Canada even tho they're immigrants already? thanks

They would need to qualify in Canada to work in Canada

You simply need to contact the nurse licensing board in the province you live in and ASK what ualifications the nurse needs to have. This person may need to take some courses, and probably an exam...and maybe a practical work course. If you do not know how to contact the licensing board, go to a local hospital personnell dept and ASK...they can get you in touch with the right people.
3 :
They would have to contact the college of nurses(our licensing bodies are called colleges) in the province where they wish to work.They will have to provide transcripts of their education for the college to evaluate and the college will decide if they are eligible to write the CRNE. Also the person will have to go through the proper immigration channels to be able to work legally in Canada.Currently there are not many jobs in the nursing field in Canada right now, especially for new grads or nurses with little experience.

You would need to have your BSN ( 4 year nursing degree) and at least a couple of years experience in critical care(ICU) nursing. While Canada has a couple of recently developed CRNA programs, they are not currently using them in the Canadian Health Care system. If you came to Canada to study you would be here on a student visa. Once your education was over you would have to return home. Being here as a student does not entitle you to stay afterwards and work. You would have to apply for immigration or a work visa to come back.

Immigrate to the US from Canada or stay

Immigrate to the US from Canada or stay?
Im am trying to decide whether to immigrate to the US (Charlotte, NC area) from Canada when my fiance and I get married. She is a US citizen and I could get my green card through her. We are both new graduates, her with a nursing degree and me with a business degree. Im wondering mostly how any former Canadians have found the experience (not getting into the country but living there)

Stay here in Canada. Americans do not have the same health benefits that we do. Every Canadian that I know that moved to the States has moved back here. Nice place to visit but not to live.
