hi.. I just want to ask all those people who might help me... I just attended an orientation about getting an immigrant visa in canada a while ago, and it seems very convincing.. They will assist me in everything, from documentation to board and lodging when i get to canada. But my problem is, how will i get a job there. As a nurse of course. Do i need to take a nursing licensure exam there? How? How much will it cost? How long is the processing? What are the requirement? Will it be easier if I'm already a canadian immigrant?By the way I'm from the Philippines. Thanks for those who will reply..ü

Not sure how much they are charging but you can do a lot yourself. Starting point would be meeting provincial college of RN requirements for IEN and also meet immigration requirements. You will need to pass CRNE as well if you want to work in Canada as a nurse. Suggest a good read in this forum where much has been written
thanks for the reply

Be very cautious if you are going to use an agency.Quite often they promise things they can't deliver and you are just paying them a fortune to do things you can easily do yourself.There is no part of the process that needs to be done by a professional.It will end up costing you much more to move to Canada in the long run.
