Unless you have a british passport you would have to attend one of the universities that run the nursing degree as an international student, and the ones that offer places to international students are few and difficult to find as there are usually waiting lists for UK students and these are subsidised by the government. The fees for international students are very high and even if you get a place and qualifiy you will still need to satisfy the Borders agency to get a work permit as only EU and UK citizens so you may struggle to get work.

Question Re: What are my chances???
Wow that is news for me, because then i would have to get married or try another means of accepatnce there in the UK. well i may have to try and persue a carrer in Canada because that is too much problem in the Uk.
@ Sharrie thank you for all the info provided on the matter as i really appreciated it.

On another sbject note what are the possiblites of being a nurse in Canda?

Seeing as the UK is another country to Canada I suggest you check out the Canadian forum re being a student but be aware will be classed as an International student and fees will be high.

Would also suggest you check out the CIC website and see what is required to be a student in Canada
