Nursing in Quebec

I have family in Montreal, on both my side and my spouse's side. They keep bugging us to come there however I don't speak any french and neither does my spouse even though he is from a french family. He just decided he was never going to learn french, he even refused to send our kids to french school or even immersion. The other issue is that I am not an RN.

I can see why the language requirement is such a problem for people to meet it.

the previous posts have been very informative for me and though there were some bad points, i'd still see the good ones. anyway, i'll be starting to process everything for quebec equivalence. my worry is that are there employers taking international applicants who are just on the process of the equivalence program? that is my worry since the application costs too much. any advice?? thanks

Im not sure if any of you are aware of a new initiative to allow for easy transfer of qulifications from one province to another. Its in the stage of being implemented. Once it is implemented, it will be easier to move between province and have licences recognized immediately.

Hi there,

I just moved to Quebec with my husband b/c he got posted here with the military.....anyways, I was an LPN in Nova Scotia and did my education there as well. I am wondering if anyone out there knows the name of the license I need to get here. I keep calling the Nusing Licensing Board here and no one returns my calls So I am turning to you all for some info/help !

Thanks !!!!

Moved to the Canadian Nursing forum. Good luck to you!

Merged with another thread about nursing in Quebec for more exposure.
