migrate to Canada current LPN in US


Hi,
I want to move to Canada with my 8 year old son. I currently work as an LPN in the US. I have no clue how to go about this process or who to call. I have talked to several different lawyers and not one of them can give me any advice or guidance until I retain them for at least two thousand dollars or more. HELP ME!

Doubt you can make is a PN as usually RN is requirement for immigration. You need to decide on what province you want to live and work and then apply there. Plenty has been written on working in Canada suggest a search both in the International and Canadian forums

There are no visas available for you to work there, same way that there are no visas for a Canadian LPN to work in the US.

Hi,
Thanks for reply. I am currently working on my pre nursing courses for my RN. When I get my RN then will I be eligible for a visa? Or will I need to have my BSN?

Canada is a very large country, will depend on the province. Some are already requiring the BSN for entry level there.
