Nursing in Montreal!

World Canada

Published

Hello, I'm RN in Albany, NY. I'm working in Cardiac Unit(step down). I just got engaged, My partner lives in Montreal. We decide that I should move Plattsburgh, NY which is really close. I'm really happy to move closer to my partner. I'm really tired of driving to 4 hours every week. I will be living in Plattsburgh and my partner in Montreal. I applied for critical care position. I'm starting to get worry about the future, and I have a few questions guys. will be possible to live in Montreal and commute to Plattsburgh to work? I know already about the requirements QIIQ, but will be worth to work like RN or NP in Montreal?

I really like Montreal, and I call my self a Francophile. I don't mind the winters. for me feel like home.

If you plan on living in Canada, you'll have to go through immigration. I'm not sure of all the details for that process though

I worked as a nurse in Montreal for 4 years prior to moving to the US. I know of one person who lives on the south shore of Montreal and commutes to Plattsburgh for work. It's not ideal but it is possible. I would never recommend living on the island, of even worst on the north shore and commuting to Plattsburgh however. I guess it depends on your tolerance and motivation, but it is feasible.

However, in order for you to ''live'' in Canada, you would need some sort of status. You cannot establish residency in Canada without a legal status. Are you married to your partner?

Hello! Soo Plattsburgh Hospital (CVPH) was horrible at least the ICU. They took 6 months to tell me we don’t want you in the ICU but you will like another position. I was like WOW!. Sooo I interviewed for Burligton only hospital the pay was not enough for living there plus is 2 hours from Montreal! I found another hospital in northern Vermont. Really good. I love it. I have a small apt in the town and I travel a lot to Montreal but this year I hope I can move to the south shore and commute. I’m learning french in the Montreal YNCA and I still in my Canadian immigration papers. I think I will work in Montreal. Yes, I know is a lot work and yes I know is underpaid, but I want to have the experience. I don’t care a lot money anymore I just want to have international experience and learn.
