Is it possible to be a pediatric nurse and move to Canada?
Hi :) I'm only 16, but nearly 17 and next year I'm going to university to get my degree in Child Nursing. I was just wondering can you be a pediatric nurse and live in Canada? I heard that countries like USA, Canada and Australia are very hard to move to and live there. I heard you special jobs that they want and need, like cook and electrician. My science teacher said that with nursing you can travel the world, but is it possible to be able to live in Canada while being a nurse? Thank you xoxo

Have you by any chance seen this? http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp It might help you a considerable amount if you're serious. I'm also inclined to mention that Canada is not nearly as uptight over immigration as the USA and to a lesser extent, Australia.

Are you coming from the UK? The difficulty with moving to Canada(and the US) is that our nurses are not specialist trained, we are trained as general nurses. You need theory and clinical hours in child, adult, OB and mental health nursing to be licensed over here. In Canada you must have your BSN for licensure. One excellent resource for questions like yours is the International Forum at allnurses.com.

My (Canadian) daughter chose to become a Public Health Nurse. It was a very, very good choice. She's working the hours she wants, and she loves the work. Since the 1960s, it has been more 'feminist' to become a doctor than a nurse, and most of the nurses who trained before then are now retiring. There is a growing scarcity of nurses. However, the demand for pediatric nurses is -> relatively <- low. Because the 'Baby Boomers' are now going grey, there's going to be a very strong demand for all geriatric medical workers of all sorts. Nursing is a very wise career choice!

Oh yes, go for it. Find a college in Canada and get the credentials there. Canada is a Socialist country, they take everyone.

You do not lneed to learn French to move to 80% of Canada. But if you get an RN, ans express willingness to live in a smaller community further north, then you might.

I would probably say "yes". Canada has a "Skilled Worker Program" and Quebec has its own equivalent version. You can take the test to try a self-assessment to see if you qualify. Just punch in the appropriate responses, such as saying you are a nurse and have french language skills, to see what type of score you would get. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assess/index.asp According to Canada's website, Nursing is a job that is "in demand" in Canada and qualifies you for an accelerated immigration status. Of course, to become a nurse, you would have had to qualify from a certified program. You may want to consult with the Canadian embassy or consulate in your current country to see if a degree from a particular tech school would be acceptable in Canada.

It sounds very promising. There is a shortage of trained nurses in Canada, and with that skill, and the willingness to move to a rural or northern community, you would probably have no difficulty. And, after a few years, you would have experience, would have fulfilled your requirements and would be able to move to a metropolitan center. Or wherever you wished. You don't need to learn french - unless you want to work in Quebec.

In Canada , Quebec provinance is French Speaking area and also offer immigration to people and the pass marks to qualify as a immigrant for this provinance is less if compare with Federal Skilled Worker immigration. But if you want to go other provinances of Canada as a immigrant , so first of all you should find your profession/occuptions in the 38 list of occuptions, if your occuption is in the list then you can qualify for Federal skilled worker. Points are divided into different factors, e.g Education consists of maximum 25 points, if you got 25 points then there will be no chance of more points in this factor. So, for the degree in nurse give you points in education factor and if you are experianced then according to it points in jobs experiance sector. But one strong point for you is Language ability in French, from where you can obtain maximum 8 points in frecnh language rather then 16 points of English Language.

Is the Australian RN degree equivalent to the Canadian RN degree
Is the Australian RN degree equivalent to the Canadian RN degree?
Is the Australian Bachelor of Nursing Science degree equivalent to the Canadian Bachelor of Science in Nursing? If I obtained a degree in Australia, is it transferable to Canada? I had e-mailed the College of Nurses in Ontario to find out, but they said that I needed to apply for an assessment. I'm nowhere near ready to apply for an assessment, so I was just wondering if anyone else had experience in the matter. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It should be. If I were you, pose your query to other universities and see what their take is.

Your education would have to be evaluated by the college of nurses )our licensing bodies are called colleges) in the province in which you want to be licensed. Most of the provinces in Canada require a 4 year BSN for initial licensure
