Each country teaches nursing in the language that is spoken there, like german in Germany and Austria. Wouldn't make sense otherwise. You will have to learn the language or look for an alternative, but if you want to practice nursing there, you need ...

Right now healthregions are in the red and need to save money, no no hiring in foreign countries, plus it's not necessary anymore. The new grads now are struggling to find good jobs. Don't know where you got the info about a possible boom, but it's n...

My question: WHY does she want to go to nursing school, when she has a decent education allready???? And where do you guys wanna live, if in the States, get education there, if in Philippines, get education there but forget about nursing no jobs, and...

Canman: yes I did meet the requirements, because I did have confirmed employment when I came over on a work permit. I don't cheat and I don't think it's good to do that, you will allways have the fear you might be discovered and than bye bye Canada. ...

The funds for skilled worker immigration have to be your own savings you cannot borrow it! Check the CIC site please. It's the whole point that you can exist the first months on your own, what are you doing if you don't find a job fast enough (what i...

But Saskatchewan is a whole different province with different rules, so when I tell you my waiting time what was only a few weeks you cannot compare that, we don't have temp licenses here, just grad nurse license, but I never had one of those. I pass...

I've done SEC in Saskatchewan, so waiting times might be different, theory I found harder than the practical bit, but I've only done peds and I didn't need any upgrading. 5cats

I actually find it pretty clear, if you are over 18 she cannot sponsor you, unless under the specific conditions mentioned there. 5cats

Plus to add, in the US it is determined if your education meets the requirement for US trained RN's what can be an ADN= 2 years course, it doesn't say if your bachelor is equivalent to the US one. 5cats

You have almost no experience how can you be an instructor? For here Fiona is absolutely right, without having worked here and knowing the system No WAY. 5cats

Why did you not look into it yourself?? Until recently it was relatively easy to go to Canada as a RN and actually have a job. So at the time you got that advise it was a very poor one, and actually a lie. RN's were in the short occupation list and h...

SEC goes for every foreign educated nurse who might lack competency. UK Nurses had to do it, I had to do it, so I don't see discrimination there. And I'm sorry to say but the Nurses from the Philippines who came over the last year or so were not at a...

No IEN's recruiting in SK right now, doubt that this will change soon. 5cats

I highly doubt that any NHS trust is recruiting in the Philippines right now, probably one of many rumours that are not true. 5cats

That doesn't mean it was easier in any way or that they didn't ned to fill out forms, it's actually easier nowadays because those tests at least prepare you better for what's coming. And everything is available online. 5cats

When you are desperate you do a lot of things that you normally wouldn't do, the wake up call came, and SEC is part of that wake up call. But unfortunatley we are stuck with the guys who have been hired allready and believe me the expierence is not g...

My relatives done the same about 40 years ago, and they did not even speak english very well. 5cats

Plus every IEN had to take SEC if there were not convinced that the education is equal to the canadian one, not only filipinos. Immigration to another country is never cheap. 5cats

I agree with Silverdragon, done everything myself and so far I haven't encountered any problems, most of you are posting that you don't have much money, so why waste it? The immigration officers do treat everybody equal with or without a respresentat...

Please do NOT post private emails! thanks 5cats

Don't post your email on the site, it's against the rules thanks 5cats

if you look at the canadian forum there's a thread regarding the situation in Alberta. 5cats

The post is from 2005! Please do a search on the site here or google because all your questions have been answered many many times. 5cats

The OP stated in the first post that they are helping with an immigrant visa, nothing else. And for that you don't need an agency it's wasted money, especially since for an immigrant visa you need quite a bit of funding and they will want to see proo...

Work permits are very restricting, normally studying and taking courses when this is not beneficial for your job is prohibited. So be careful and stay legal ask CIC if you are not sure. It's just a shame, you are another victim of "well meaning" rela...
