Nursing in Ontario

[Quennofswords]

I have a current RN license (New York) and a UK RGN and have been living and working in the UK for over six years. I am an American passport holder and am married to my husband who is a UK passport holder.

How difficult would it be to get a job in Ontario and what would I have to do. My husband and I have been frequent visitors to Ontario and would love to re-locate there. Does anyone know of any hospitals offering signing on initiatives?

My husband works from home which he can easily do on any computer so he will not be looking for work - just me.
