Can you find an immigration lawyer in China? They can tell you what to do.

Is it a long wait? I heard it takes around 5 years to get landing paper.

International nurses CAN go to Canada as skilled workers, and in some provinces can be accepted as Provincial Nominees, which makes the whole process much faster. Firstly, decide where you want to settle, then check the website of the provincial government for that province, to check who qualifies for PNP. Most provinces include nurses.

As a skilled worker to Canada ,you must pass 67 grades. It is difficult for a nurse to pass it. What is the lowest diploma requirement for a nurse who want to immigrate to Canada?

thank u

Does Ontario accept provincial nominees?

I am a US citizen and have been trying to immigrate to Toronto, Ontario for a very long time now. Any information would be greatly appreciated; you may pm me if that is more convenient. Thanks.

I am on the Ontario provincial goverment website, but so far I'm not having much luck garnering information. Thanks again.

For skilled worker immigration to Canada, you can either go through federal immigration, or provincial nominaee. I don't know anything about provoincal nominaee, but have some idea about skilled worker immigration. Actually I got my Canadian Permanent Residency through Federal level.

Unlike US, Canada goes through by point system. If your points add up to 67, you pass. The points could be changed any time in the future. You can get a score evaluation at the official site.

Basically you have most points if you

1) under the age of 50

2) have a Master's degree or higher

4) have four or more years of professional experiences

5) been married and spouse has higher education

6) been studied or worked in Canada before

7) speak good English or French

8) has relative in Canada

It's kind of hard for nurses because their education is usually diploma or bachelor, which give them less points than other professionals with Master's degree.

It's also hard for people from Asia since they need to prove their English language ability.

It will be easy for you since you are US citizen, I assume English is your native language, you will get full score on language ability.

And you can improve your score easily by trying to work in Canda for one year under TN visa. Such option is not avilable to citizens of most asian countries.

I have a Master's degree from US and have professional work experience here under H1 visa. They waived my English test requirement and I got approved quickly and easily.

If you're bilingual in English and French, you can apply for Quebec immigration, they're super fast for people with fluent French language. Once you get approved by Quebec, the only difference from federal is that you do your landing in Quebec, after that, you can live anywhere you want in Canada.

Hope that helps and good luck.

I think the best thing to do is to contact immigration consultants because they could guide you on the right thing to do to make it faster. It is still good to have someone who is experienced about something to do it for you to make sure about it.
