Aussie moving to Canada

Published

Specializes in Emergency Room Registered nurse.

Hey

I am currently in the process of moving from Australia to Canada (Ontario). I am an RN with extensive Emergency experience (first as an Endorsed Enrolled Nurse, then as a Registered Nurse). I have specialised in Paediatric Emergency.

My working visa will be complete by the end of this month and I have just submitted my paperwork to the NNAS, I believe it is still a process from here to get my registration. 

Does anyone have any advice to help me with the process, any agences I can reach out too or what I can do in Canada in the mean time?

 

Thanks

Hi, 

I’m a nurse from England trying to move to Alberta ASAP.. such a long, expensive and complicated process.. the first step is to apply for your license after NNAS sends you the advisory report. Hopefully you won’t require a Bridge to Canadian Nursing ( if you have a 4 years nurse training you should be OK) or other exams to prove your clinical abilities. You’ll probably have your license back within 6-12 months all being good. Hope everything works out well for you.

How did you get the working visa? Is it a work permit or is it through express entry?

I haven’t started mine yet, can’t do much without the license..

Thanks
