Hi, I'm a US citizen living in Arizona. I'm also an LPN. Currently, I'm considering moving to Vancouver and would like some points on job market and housing. Thank you!
Triddin 380 Posts Feb 3, 2018 The housing rental market is insanely expensive. I think the average 1 bedroom apartment rents from $1300-1800/month now. And if you are looking to live downtown, you're looking at 1800-2200/ month for the same thing

Two year diploma is required.How to your plan on immigrating?BC, especially the lower mainland is a very hard job market to crack. Preference is usually given to locally educated nurses.Do you understand how Canadian healthcare works? Are you aware that Canadian nurses are unionized?

Everyone has a reason, love, Mountie fetish, want legal cannabis, fleeing Trump, fleeing Obama(whenever there is an American election there are always I want to move to Canada posts)

cjaye 7 Posts Has 1 years experience. Feb 5, 2018 None of that should matter to any of you. All I'm trying to find out about are the LPN jobs/requirements and housing. Thank you.
