Immigration Questions re Vancouver

[AE78]

Hi guys,

this is my first posting. I have been scouring the site for info as I am planning my escape to Vancouver next year from Scotland. I am a RGN with 1 1/2 years experience, 9 months on the nurse bank, going as and where required to any ward, and the remaining time so far as a community staff nurse. I feel as though my head is bursting with all the info and hope you can all help. First and foremost I have been reading that it's proving quite difficult for people to find jobs in BC, is this true? Also I have all my immigration papers printed but do I apply to register in BC first to find out what additional courses I need to do before posting immigration papers? Also any ideas how much the immigration and nurse registration side of things costs?

I know I have more questions but this will do for the time being. Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated as I feel very much at a crossroads with nursing in Canada. I love my job in the UK but don't know the script with community jobs in Vancouver.

Huge thanks in advance to anyone that can help,

Alayne xxx

This post has been moved to the International Forum as it relates to immigration issues not of interest to average Canadian nurses. It has been given a thread of its own and a more explicit subject line.

It's ok.Jan was just moving you a different forum.Someone may be able to help.

Have you contacted the college of nurses in BC? They will be able to advise you how to proceed.The link for the provincial colleges are at the top of the Canadian Forum.
