What are requirement to work in Canada for Foreign Educated (Indian GNM Diploma) Nurse?
I am a Registered Nurse in India I have done General Nursing and Midwifery 3 years fulltime diploma course, and I have 5 years plus experience. Recently I have also given academic IELTS exam and scored overall 6.0 band (Listening 6, Reading 5.5, Writing 5.5, Speaking 6). I want to migrate to Canada with my husband and son. I am planning to apply under “Federal Skilled Worker immigration� I have following queries. I would be grateful if you could provide me answers for these questions or tell me any other way to work in Canada as Nurse. Thanks allot. 1) What are the steps I will need to perform to Migrate to Canada? 2) My IELTS 6.0 BANDS will be considered for Language Skills points or I should give IELTS exam again? 3) Is NCLEX and Canadian Registered Nurse Examination (CRNE) is compulsory to work in Canada as nurse? 4) Can I give CRNE exam online from India? 5) My relatives are in Canada if they arrange a regular nurse job (Not under arranged employment); will it help for the immigration process. 6) When I have calculated my points for immigration it comes to 65 – 67. So to secure the process, Can I apply under “Arranged Employment� or “Provincial Nomination Program�? 7) Where can I find a Job listing for “Provincial Nomination Program� category? I searched many sites but didn’t found anything specifically; Nurses requirement under Provincial Nomination Program.

1) If you need a job offer, you have to look for a job offer first. Otherwise just apply. Canada Immigration website here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp 2) If it gives you enough points to apply for federal skilled worker and that is how you want to apply, it's fine. If you need more points, one of the easiest ways to get more points is to study more for the IELTS and take it again. 3) You can find the association of nurses in different provinces here: http://www.workdestinations.org/occupation_keyword_search.jsp?lang=en It will give you the contact information so you can ask them about licensing. In some cases it also has licensing information or you will find it on the nurses websites. 4) I have no idea what that is 5) If they arrange a regular nurse job for you, the employer would go to Service Canada and apply for a document called an Arranged Employment Opinion (AEO) and you use that to apply for your immigration. That is what is called Arranged Employment. 6) You can apply as a Federal Skilled worker if you have at least 67 points. You can apply either under Category 2 - Arranged employment or under Category 1 - as a nurse which is on the most wanted occupations list in Canada, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who-instructions.asp#list You have to make sure you have at least 67 points, not 65-67. 7) There is no list of special jobs. You have to get a job offer, the employer applies for the AEO and then you can apply for immigration. Check out Healthmatch BC, see http://www.aved.gov.bc.ca/provincialnominee/strategicoccupations/healthprofessionals.htm They are looking for nurses in BC for sure.
