Alberta, Canada


I would like to ask anybody out there who knows how can I possibly apply for Alberta...I heard that there is an agreement between the Philippines and Alberta for jobs there.
Please enlighten me with this matter.
I am in US right now, and I wanted to move to Canada.

There is no agreement. You have to apply to the province and meet their requirements for foreign trained nurse and pass CRNE. Moving to the International forum as per the red banner

Alberta's health regions (now defunct) sent a contingent of recruiters to the Philippines several months ago to hire nurses. There were jobs offered to a few hundred candidates and about 40% of them have been employed to date. The agreements were between the health regions and the individuals. This plan was not intended to be a continuous source of nurses, just a short-term solution to a problem. There are many other threads on this forum and on the Canadian forum about Alberta. Try doing a search and see what you come up with.
