Can I work in Canada?

Hi, hoping silverdragon or RGN might see this post and advise me, as I know they are both British RN's who are now in Canada.

I immigrated to the USA from the UK in 2006 and have worked continuously as an RN here since then. However, I'm ready for a change and seriously considering Canada.

My main question is age related. I am 57 years old. Would I be too old to apply? If not, could anyone please point me in the direction of how to apply to live and work in Canada?

Thank you.

    I don't think your age would be an issue.You need to contact the college of nurses in the province that you want to work in.They will tell you how to apply for a license.Part of the licensing process will include writing the CRNE.You will also have to apply for the appropriate work visa.Good luck.

    Hi stranger :)

    Meeting provincial college of RN's would be the starting point, we are seeing a lot of International nurses having to do some form of assessment before receiving eligibility to sit CRNE but will depend on which province you plan on living in and college of RN. Then there is the case of sorting work permit or getting PR, cap for RN for PR without a employer has been reached for this year and should reopen in June. For PR English exam will be required regardless on where you are from or if English is first language
