Intrested to work in Canada

Published

I live in USA since 1994 , permanent residence /green card holder , became RN -BSN , in order to work in Canada , I got registered with College and association of Registered Nurses of Alberta ( CARNA) , I am eligible to work in Canada under temporary license /permit by CARNA but I am having difficulty finding an employer who can offer me a job as RN so I can apply for work permit . My permit with CARNA will be expiring in 2017 .

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Nurses are not in short supply and in some cases are or have been terminated. You could look at other routes on the CIC website on moving to Canada however that will not change the job situation in Canada. Many start working as casual or part time employees and slowly work towards full time and for you to get a work permit you are required to have full time employment.

The job market in Alberta is dire. AHS the biggest employer is facing huge cuts financially.

There is no need to sponsor nurse when there underemployed nurses in the country
