Re: how does a U.S. lpn start working in Canada
You need to have a visa that will permit you to work. A one year LPN program will no longer qualify for the LPN license in Ontario. They require a two year program. The RN must now have a four year degree for initial licensure in Ontario.
If you are married to a Canadian, then you should go that route for getting a visa that will permit you to work. Otherwise, you will be going thru a long immigration process.
If you had your RN, then you just take copy of the job offer, etc. to immigration and you qualify under the NAFTA Trade Treaty, but with the LPN you do not.
