As far as I understand, you need no agent in order to apply for immigration as a RN. Just apply for a nursing regulatory body of a province and than apply to a health authority of that province (for immigration or work permit).

You can easily go it alone. Agencies are usually not such a good idea as they will cream off thier costs from your wages & tie you into longer contracts than you might want - or send you places you don't want to go.

The above advice is sound - check out the college in the province where you want to work & go from there.

you can do it all yourself by contacting and applying directly to the Hospitals in province where you want to live and work.

But first you must register with a nursing board this will show employer, you are really serious about working in Canada. Do a search for nursing jobs in Canada, dont know how to paste links but their are plenty of jobs.

Good luck

hi.. just asking if you registered as nurse in alberta, is your license applicable or has reciprocity in Saskatchewan? or vice versa..

many thanks...

If you are registered in any other Canadian province your registration will be recognized. BUT... you will still have to follow the application process in that province, which means an assessment of your education and verification of your registration in any other jurisdictions that you've held in the past. Each province has their own College of Registered Nurses (regulatory board) and their own standards of practice. Nursing practice permits are not interchangeable or valid across borders. When our transport nurses take patients to other provinces for whatever reason, they may only provide nursing care for that patient en route. Once they arrive at their destination they may not even give Tylenol.

Just like licensure in the US, the license is not valid across province lines; the examination has reciprocity in all provinces, but you need to meet the requirements for the new province if you wish to obtain a license there.
