@djpinay - hi, please read my above post :) i did not go through an agency. i dnt know your agency. they might be legit, or they might not be. i really have no idea. i came to canada with a permanent...
(to moderators, i hope it's ok to post this here, you may delete this if it's not in the proper thread) i just want to clarify something - i did not go through any agency or consultancy firm - i had...
hi howard, just to correct my previous post - i did handcarry all my documents to the oiiq. called them prior, and they said it was ok to mail it from the philippines, as long the envelope is sealed....
hi howard, i hand-carried my application form and high school transcript... but of course, as directed, had prc and nursing school send my documents to oiiq.
hi guys. i came to canada with an immigrant visa, family-sponsored. so moving to another province was not a problem. :) what kind of visa are you applying for? is quebec open to giving work visas to...

Hi simoun, i just read this post of yours. Please be very careful when dealing with "agencies." They can do nothing to help you ease your way through the immigration process. All the information you...
Hi theresaaiza.. there are hospitals in Montreal that do not necessarily require French. But having come from there, believe me, you WILL eventually need to learn the language. You will get...

Hi RNplaya. I was a sitter/caregiver/PAB for two homecare agencies in montreal. I did this until I got my papers from OIIQ. It's not a bad job, you get to practice your nursing skills in a way. I told...
