Jobs that would allow for US relocation?
I am looking into university degrees in Australia (I am an Aussie citizen) at the moment and there are several fields I am interested in. I want to move to the US or Canada within a few years after graduating with a degree. What jobs/career fields would offer a high chance of the possibility of relocating to one of these two countries? I am aware that there are job opportunities through agencies for nursing that can help you gain employment in the USA and Canada, but are there other agencies/opportunities that would provide employment like this? Thanks

Physicians, surgeons, RN (4 year degree nurses), some engineers in mechanical design, electronics, and software engineering, and a very few other professions would be the most likely choices to be able to get a U.S. work visa, an arduous and expensive effort which you must persuade a potential employer to do on your behalf. Another means is to work for a multi-national company which relocates you. The large hotel chains, manufacturing, transportation, and similar companies are the way to do it, especially if your skills are less technical.

If you were to go to the US or Canada you would have to meet the criteria for nursing licensure as well as meet the requirements for a work visa or immigration.To get a Green Card so you can work in the US you are looking at about 6 year wait. Licensing can be a lengthy and expensive process as well.To qualify as an RN in Canada you need to have your BSN ( 4 year nursing degree) as well as meeting the requirements for immigration or a work visa.( but the wait is not as long as that for a Green Card) US and Canadian nurses are generalist trained so you would need theory and clinical hours in all areas including adult, peds, OB/maternity and mental health nursing. Using an agency does change/speed up any of this process.They cannot get you a license or work visa any faster than you can yourself. All you are paying them for is filling out papers that you can easily fill out yourself. Using an agency does not change the fact that you would need a nursing license and work visa/immigration before you could work there.Being a nurse does not make it any easier to get permission to work in another country.Especially right now with thousands of new grads struggling to find work in both countries.
