How to work as a CNA or LPN in Canada?

Do you hold a Canadian passport? If not, there are issues with getting a work permit that will allow you to work an an LPN there............same thing goes for an LPN from Canada that wishes to work in the US.

They do have HCA, which are health care assis.tants, but similar to the CNA. Your biggest issue will be with immigration.

Not sure from your post if you are attending school in the US now, and American, or Canadian and attending school in the US, or in Canada.

Well, first you need to be able to work legally work in Canada. You'd have to check with Immigration Canada.

It depends on which province you are planning on living in. We have PSW Personal Support Workers, NA Nursing Assistant, RCA Resident Care Aides, those are just a few of the titles/positions I've seen over the last few years.

The training for these courses varies from school to school most seem to run 12 weeks with clinicals.

LPN is a four semester or two year course, which is quite competitive to get into now. RN is mainly a four year degree (there are still provinces that do RN diploma). There are waitlists there to.

But like the above poster said, you aren't clear about where you want to go to school or what your nationality is.

I was born in Canada, therefore I have a Canadian passport, a social insurance number and am a Canadian citizen. I live in Texas now and am a CNA in Texas. I am moving back to Alberta and was wondering if I would have to retake a test, get relicensed to find work that would paralled with a CNA. Also if anyone knows the company that I need to contact that would be helpful and appreciated.
