Career Change

Hi everyone i have gone through some of the post about changing careers, i discovered i'm not the only one thinking of changing my careers. I am a Lawyer but ive have been trying to get into an after degree program in nursing. Now i know this is not impossible as most of the post here have proven that people before me have done so successfully. I'm currently in Nigeria but im interested in schools in canada please if anyone can suggest which schools i can apply to, it would be really helpful. And are there any additional steps i should take to help me successfully get into a nursing program.

    As an International student fees will be expensive as a student

    Not many nursing schools are open to international applicants so you'll first have to find one that is. UBC does consider international students but the tuition is $58,652.16 (CAD) per year & it's a 2 year post-bac program.

    Not sure if you're just wanting to get the education or if you want to stay here but after you finish studying, you have to leave the country. If you wanted to stay in Canada, applying to immigrate here would be a separate thing & would have to be done from an embassy outside of Canada. The process seems to take about 2 years and there's no guarantee you'd be admitted.

    Immigration is possible from within Canada and post graduation they are eligible for a work permit that is valid for the same duration of the course.

    Hello Minika

    There are after degree nursing programs in Canada that you can get into but as has already been mentioned, they are very expensive.

    From your post, I have at least 3 things in common with you haha. So if you can pm me, I will be sure to direct you.
