i think the additional degree of being Masters in Nursing was the reason CNO granted me eligibility :D

Specializes in NICU, PICU, PCVICU and peds oncology.

According to Linda Silas, the president of the Canadian Federation of Nursing Unions, who spoke at my local annual general meeting today, Ontario has just undergone LAYOFFS OF 1600 REGISTERED NURSES. This is not a small matter. Any vacancies currently available will be filled by those displaced nurses- meaning that there are really no opportunities for IENs in Ontario at this time. (This is something I have been relating now for about 3 months, but apparently the message isn't getting through.)

A friend works at the Glenrose and has told me that the IENs on her unit are in a panic. Their work visas are nearly finished and there are no full time lines available. They are facing returning home.

You can try applying for a job in long term care and see what kind of a response you get. There is a list of long term care facilities that may have job postings on the OLTCA website http://www.oltca.com/en/members/employment/memberjobsites.html

Why do you think any facility in Canada would be hiring offshore when Canadian new grads can't find work or if they can find work it's on a casual basis? People can't be brought in unless the facility has documentation that there is no Canadian willing to take the job.

I don't know ledzil's immigration plans, I was simple responding to ledzil's request for help in finding jobs in Toronto and submitting a resume and inquiry to potential employers is a reasonable way to determine job prospects.

A quick look at the posters history would have filled you in. New Jersey, Australia, and Canada have all been considered by this poster who is still overseas.

False hope is not what people want.

All the poster is asking is some information about job prospects. It's immaterial what countries she has considered before. If there are really no job openings, then let her find out herself.

No, actually it should be factored into the equation. For at least the last six months Canadian nurses have been posting about hiring freezes, new grads unable to find work in their own region, and nurses who arrived on two year work permits facing the prospect of returning home.

For anyone to think they can find a job in our current economy by sending resumes to nursing homes is giving out false hope. If any time has been spent on these boards or the Canadian governments website, it's been well documented that jobs are few and far between and for an employer to hire offshore there needs to be documented evidence that they've tried really hard to find a nurse already living in Canada to do the job.

When posters post on multiple overseas threads about looking for work in that country it is simple to determine that there is no real desire to live and settle in a country, just a place to earn a wage. The Canadian forums were flooded by posters in 2007 (well before our time) with nurses from the Phillipines wanting to work in Canada because they'd been told it was easier to get into the US from Canada than the Phillipines. No desire to settle, just work and leave.

You posted it yourself, there are still jobs no matter how far and between they are. At the end of the day, you can only tell them what the situation is but it is still up to them whether they want to go further or not.Unless Canada starts closing it's doors to immigrants.

You're seeing what you want to see. There is no offshore recruiting going on at the current time. The western provinces stopped the recruiting after the debacle with Capital Health.
