What are requirement to work in Canada for Foreign Educated (Indian GNM Diploma) Nurse

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.

Try to go through Healthmatch BC, see http://www.aved.gov.bc.ca/provincialnominee/strategicoccupations/healthprofessionals.htm They are looking for nurses in BC for sure. If you try to apply as a federal skilled worker, since registered nurses are on the list of most wanted occupations, you can do this without a job offer but you must have at least 67 points. 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.
