About having a decent job in Canada......?
I'm a Registered Nurse in the Philippines. I have a degree and I pretty much have good grades. I was just wondering, would I have a good chance to find a decent job in Canada with my degree? I mean, if I could be hired easily because of the mere fact that I have a degree in Nursing. It doesn't necessarily be in a hospital.. hmm I'm thinking maybe in an office or something? I asked this because I am planning to go and work in Canada. Life here in the Philippines is really tough, like we are the most underpaid nurses in the whole wide world. I went to an expensive university (well at least for us it's already expensive since people here are underpaid). I want to make sure that I'll be compensated with my salary and the only choice I have is to work in Canada.

In order to be licensed as a nurse in Canada you would have to contact the college of nurses(our licensing bodies are called colleges) in the province you wanted to work in. They would assess your education and experience and decide if you were eligible to write the CRNE, which is the nursing exam in Canada. if you passed the exam you would be given a license. You would also have to apply for immigration. The whole process takes time and money. There is no guarantee that you would find a job. Nursing jobs are in short supply in many parts of Canada.Canada requires that you have a 4 year nursing degree.
