student visa in canada for a newly RN board passer

[dreamerkid]

hi everyone, I just passed the board exam last june 2009 and until now I haven't had any hospital experience bcoz most of them are in freeze hiring, even in volunteer nursing. i also attended lots of orientations and seminars that offers easy/fastest way in going to other countries. now, I want to try in Canada but I really don't have an idea if I'll be going there using a student visa. anyone who can help me out and give some insights... thanks in advance. :)

I think you may find it hard as a healthcare assistant to get a work permit as healthcare assistants are not in short supply. LPN would be the same as either way the employer has to prove that the job can not be done by someone already in Canada and has to advertise across country to prove that they have tried to fill the job. There is no career opportunities as an assistant
