Manitoba has currently filled its quota for skilled workers such as nurses although they will still accept applications for the future. You should make yourself aware of the provincial nominee program and how it works. MPNP Skilled Worker Eligibility
The federal skilled worker program information can be found here: Eligibility
At present Canada is not seeking IENs.

@gulfraz most provinces do not have a shortage of internationally educated nurses, many have a surplus of IENs who do not qualify to be licensed as RNS. Before you make plans to work in Canada, you should become knowledgeable about the barriers that IENs face in order to become licensed as a RNs in Canada. Start by having your nursing education assessed by NNAS to see if it is equivalent to a Canadian BscN.
