Nursing near Quebec

[liser79]

Hello.

I am an American looking for advice about relocating to Canada. My husband may take a job with Cirque Du Soleil in Quebec. Problem is I am a registered nurse. I know that I cannot practice nursing in Quebec without being fluent in French. What would be the next closest place for me to work as a nurse? Is there such a place that is right on the border between the US and Canada that I may look in to?

If I wanted to work as a nurse in Canada other than in Quebec, what is the process?

Thanks for your help.

Do you have any idea of how large geographically Canada is? Most Canadians measure distance in hours travelled.

Where in PQ would you be living? Look at a map. Do you want commutes daily of that distance? Or are you planning a longdistance marriage?

You'd be looking at Montreal as the base for your husband's employer. You could live in one of the smaller communities along Autoroute 15/US 87 between Montreal and Plattsburgh, New York which would give each of you a roughly 30 mile commute. Napierville, Quebec would be the most equitable, I think.

As for the process of becoming a nurse in other provinces, there are already lots of threads that go over that ground. Have a look at those.

Lol Fiona, thanks for pointing out that most Canadians measure distance in hours. I just noticed that now.
