Do it yourself migration to canada


Can anyone guide us on how to migrate to canada as a nurse without the help of agencies... Using agencies can be a bit expensive..

What is the success rate of doing it alone compared to using an agency for immigration?

Please tell us the step by step process.. This is a sort of a do it yourself manual..


Example.

It is my greatest dream to work in Toronto as a nurse... What should I do first to jumpstart my application?... Should I go the Provinvial Nominee program route (PNP)? I almost have a year of hospital experience.

Please help..

Moved to the International Forum as this thread relates to immigration. (Please read the pink banner at the top of the Canadian Forum.)

The first thing you should do is a search of this forum, because your questions have been asked and answered MANY times already. Next you should check out the stickies on both the International and the Canadian forums for more help. Then you should formulate a much more specific list of questions.

Hello there zeromike22!

Canada is currently fast-tracking 38 occupations (including nurses) it takes less than a year to get out of the philippines, as long as you have the following:

- have an offer of arranged employment, OR
- be a foreign national living legally in Canada for one year as a temporary foreign worker or an international student, OR
- be a skilled worker who has at least one year of experience in one or more of the following occupations:

0111: Financial Managers
0213: Computer and Information Systems Managers
0311: Managers in Health Care
0631: Restaurant and Food Service Managers
0632: Accommodation Service Managers
0711: Construction Managers
1111: Financial Auditors and Accountants
2113: Geologists, Geochemists and Geophysicists
2143: Mining Engineers
2144: Geological Engineers
2145: Petroleum Engineers
3111: Specialist Physicians
3112: General Practitioners and Family Physicians
3141: Audiologists and Speech Language Pathologists
3143: Occupational Therapists
3142: Physiotherapists
3151: Head Nurses and Supervisors
3152: Registered Nurses
3215: Medical Radiation Technologists
3233: Licensed Practical Nurses
4121: University Professors
4131: College and Other Vocational Instructors
6241: Chefs
6242: Cooks
7213: Contractors and Supervisors, Pipefitting Trades
7215: Contractors and Supervisors, Carpentry Trades
7217: Contractors and Supervisors, Heavy Construction Equipment Crews
7241: Electricians (Except Industrial and Power System)
7242: Industrial Electricians
7251: Plumbers
7252: Steamfitters, Pipe fitters and Sprinkler System Installers
7265: Welders and Related Machine Operators
7312: Heavy-Duty Equipment Mechanics
7371: Crane Operators
7372: Drillers and Blasters – Surface Mining, Quarrying and Construction
8221: Supervisors, Mining and Quarrying
8222: Supervisors, Oil and Gas Drilling and Service
9212: Supervisors, Petroleum, Gas and Chemical Processing and Utilities

You obviously have the last choice. So if I were you go ahead with this application. The good thing about this is that if ever you get denied (let's hope not), they will refund your processing fee.

Good luck! I would do anything to get a year of full-time paid work experience.

hello!

assuming that one can land in Canada using the skilled worker visa, how certain can one be to also be able to land a job there? ( let's presumed one has already registered in a certain province & had sit on CNLE already)..

thanks

Hard to be certain. You will have an advantage having PR already so I guess your application would be looked at the same as anyone else so experience and skills would be looked at

Depends on the province and city you settle in. Some provinces have hiring freezes, limited opportunities for new grads, etc. Government funding is restricting the number of nurses in the sytem and there aren't a lot of private practices hiring either (well at least in my region).

What is CNLE????
