It is hard to say but nothing will harm you in applying now for your immigration visa now, just may take a few years.

Nothing stopping you trying now with a province as long as you are aware there may be delays and problems finding employer. But at least you can get CRNE sorted once met province requirements.

I know currently NS is desperate for nurses and doctors however things may change. especially with events happening in other provinces

SD:

One of the nurses I work with moved to AB from NS five years ago when she graduated (followed her partner). Well, his job is gone (non-nursing) and they are going home.

So the drift back is already happening.

There's more bad news...

Two busy hospitals to close ORs: NDP

Health critic says surgery waits to grow longer
By Ian Austin, The Province

Four operating rooms are being shut in Surrey and Port Moody, says the New Democratic Party.
NDP Health Critic Adrian Dix said staff have been told that two of the nine operating rooms at Surrey Memorial Hospital are being shut, along with two of the six operating rooms at Eagle Ridge Hospital.

This is happening in Fraser Health Authority in BC. So the cuts are deepening. Job losses are going to follow.

Slightly off topic but I'm saying it anyway.........why on earth is it that as soon as governments get into trouble (which is nearly always their own stupid fault) they ALWAYS pick on what most normal (ie non politicians) people tihnk of as the most important things for a civilised society to provide. Namely, health care & education??

Why don't they clean up their own acts first? For example would it matter if we had less of the idiots - expand the boundaries, cut the number of tax eating Alderman & MLA's - they're pretty much all equally stupid so let's have less of them in the 1st place?

Totally cut down on what they can claim expenses for -unless it's a direct office expense such as paper/printing fluids etc then they have to pay out their own pocket - no-one buys me my scrubs, or pays the cleaning bill yet it's as much a part of my job as theirs!!

They could stop building stupid & expensive pedestrian bridges that no-one wants while they're at it too! They should also cap ALL top civil servant bonuses to zero right now - until the deficit is over & they should take a pay freeze too! They're already overpaid for what they do anyhow.

It's not the answer to everything but if we saw them losing their jobs & cutting down on their waste we might be inclined to think they're for real!

This applies the world over - not just Canada by any means!

Ahhhh.....I enjoyed that little rant

Somebody buy that nurse a coffee AND a muffin to enjoy on one of their "plentiful breaks (tm. S. Duckitt). Sarcasm intended.
