Each country will have different requirements both for immigration as well as nursing. Better to just do a search for both immigration requirements and nursing requirements for the country and check out each requirements.

If you are considering Canada, note that internationally educated nurses(IENs) must have their education evaluated through NNAS and it is very possible that NNAS will deem your education not comparable to a Canadian BScN. After being deemd not comparable, the provincial nursing College will require further assessments such as SEC or OSCE, after which you may be required to obtain more education. After spending time and money to be eligible for licensure, you will likely encounter difficulty obtaining work as a RN in Canada, as the job market is saturated and there are plenty of unemployed and underemployed IENs and new grads competing for jobs. Canada has a surplus market of nurses, not a shortage market.
