Iren 2022

Hello. I have already finished 2,5 years of studies in Dentistry in my home-country. However, I crave to pursue the Nursing programme in Canada, but I do not know how I can explain the sudden change of my study filed to the Canadian visa officer. Do you have any experience pertained to that? I will be more than grateful for any help.

Hello. I understand that the process itself is really competitive, but I would be really grateful to hear from you any info about the overall difficulty of applying to these nursing schools in Canada( Lethbridge University, U of A, U of Prince Edward Island, U of Saskatchewan, U of Calgary) from an international student's perspective and your impressions or opinion upon the educational process itself( I. e. , was there any community spirit, how demanding were the professors, etc.). I would still appreciate any guidance even if you weren't an international applicant. Thanks in advance!

@dayandnight Thanks for the suggestions

@caliotter3 Thanks for the suggestions. I would have done exactly that, but there is simply no possibility to evaluate my home-country license in Canada without any PR. It's a compulsory term for dental board exams.

@caliotter3 But the problem is that places for international students in such educational facilities are sporifice. I think that only University of Toronto accepts foreigners to the dental program. This is the main issue, and that's why I wanted to try to apply for PR first, and hence nursing seems like a possible solution to get rid of that boundary. I just wanted to hear some precedents or apt experience from others.

@Lucydog14 Basically, my point is that it is really hard to find a job just with a bachelor degree in Biology, and thus the probability of getting the sufficient job experience is pretty low. Corollary, I was thinking about the nursing pathway. I've heard that you can just take additional classes in college even after your graduation in order to comply with the dental school's prerequisites. @Silverdragon102 Yes, I do

Hello. I am a foreigner. Originally I wanted to apply for Bachelors in Biological Science in order to work for one year and get a PR. This was a preliminary for applying to dental schools because the tuition for foreigners is rather draconian. However, after familiarizing myself with the current labor market, I understood that I won't be able to find a job just with a Bachelors degree. So I laid my eye on nursing. Is there any probability of success? How hard is it to gain necessary science prerequisites while studying nursing or after graduating in order to matriculate in dental schools? I will be more than grateful for any help. Sorry for the superfluous verbiage.
