Immigrating to Canada via Family Sponsorship

Published

I have posted a few times here before, and I am interested if anyone has any experience immigrating to Canada with family sponsorship? My husband is Canadian (as is our daughter) so I am going to go that route, since I've been told it's much easier than the skilled worker route. My question is, what order should I do my applications in? Should I begin our immigration process while still in the US, and once that is moving along pursue the NNAS/CNO registration (will be moving to Ontario)? Do you have to already have status before transferring your license? Other background info: I am Bachelor's prepared and took the NCLEX in 2013. Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has immigrated from the US to Canada via family sponsorship. Thanks!

You don't have to have status before applying. You are not transferring your license, you are applying for a nursing license in another country. i would start now. the process can take much time.

Start NNAS now as the decision could take several months to a couple of years according to their website. As mentioned you are not transferring license but meeting a new country's requirements
