Try contacting Canada House for the information packet?

Canadian nurses are all generalists, not specialized, so after evaluation, your education may be found lacking

Ontario has a high unemployment rate for both nurses and actors.

Starting point would be NNAS and CNO to be assessed to see whether you meet their requirements to be a RN. Be aware this may take several years to go through the process. NNAS is first and then once report is issued apply to CNO.

If you live with your partner and can provide proof ie joint bills, mortgage then there is no reason why they can't move with you. The issue is deciding how you move and by which route. Check out CIC website for the different routes. Also as mentioned job may be an issue as seniority is a big playing in getting a job especially in areas where nurses looking for work over exceeds jobs actually available.

Thank you and sorry for the delayed response.

I contacted them however they said all there info is now online.

I have been researching and can see they have introduced a fast track route for skilled workers. Does anyone have any info on this?

Not sure if this is the best way to go

Much appreciated ☺

Even if you go through the fast track to get to Canada you still have to go through NNAS and the college and if you do not have clinical and theory hours in Paeds, Mental Health, Obstetrics and adult on your transcripts you will have issues
