best province in Canada for foreign nurses

Published

I am a UK educated nurse who qualified 11yrs ago and would like info about the best province in Canada for foreign nurses to enter, I would love to hear from nurses who were educated outside Canada who have been through the process. I am interested in British Columbia but if there are other provinces that are easy to enter please let me know, I have just made my nnas application but I have a two month window to change if the one I applied is not the best. thank you in advance

It really shouldn't be about which province is easier to enter. It should be about where you want to live and build a new life.

Every province is different, has it's good and bad points. Do you want to own your own home? Enjoy winter? Be close to the US border?

All of this has to be considered. BC is beautiful. I grew up there. But housing in the lower mainland around Vancouver is expensive, commuting is terrible and it can rain up to six months a year in this region. The same with Vancouver Island. I relocated to Alberta due to my husband's job. Housing is cheaper, I was able to stay home and raise our children for ten years, pay a mortgage and run two cars. Something we could do in BC or southern Ontario. Winter sucks however.

You have to weigh up what you want and then make a decision.
