No dear, you must have at least one year full time work experience in ur field to be eligible. If u want to know anything else about immigration to canada, just let me know.

I believe you have to have at least one full year in working and earning a salary in your chosen field. I believe the USA is a two year time frame.

You must contact the college of nurses in the province in which you wish to work. They will assess your education and credentials and tell you if you qualify to write the CRNE. Some provinces are requiring a BSN(nursing degree) for licensure.

Different states have different rules, though, you must take CGFNS and also NCLEX. Also you will have to get a work visa(H1C or H1B visa) or a sponsor for a green-card. For you the NAFTA visa does not apply because you are not yet a Canadian citizen.
2 :
yes. contact the medical board in your state to find out if they accept your degree or, if other classes have to added. i've know several canadian nurses who traveled around the US working temporary assignments, returning home in between.
