How to apply for nursing jobs in canada

[gosia]

Hi All,

My sister is a nurse, graduated 2 years ago, in SA. But she wishes to move to canada to come and work here, do you know how she can go about applying for a nursing job here? :'(

Thanks.

Nursing is a registered profession. This means she can't just come here and work. She will need to become registered in Canada as a nurse before she can work. This will likely involve writing an exam in Canada to be certified. Unfortunately employers won't consider her for a job until she's certified - so she has to get this done first. You can find more information here:

If you want more information, look through the threads in the Skilled Worker section of this forum. There are several discussions there about coming to Canada as a nurse.
