Why stop there? Why not just identify which specific migrant community astronauts to greener pastures? When did one nations' plans rely on immigrants only and not on its citizens? "Racist" is a term used to define people who subscribes to an illogical belief that one culture or color of skin is superior to all other. Racists are notorious in North America and are now experiencing a resurgence especially now that their Emperor Trump has come into power. From what I have experienced and seen on this thread for the past 5 years. It seems there are a lot of "racists" in this thread who have lurked here for a long time have now come out into the open. You guys should really be concerned more in making sure that the ideals of multiculturalism in Canada will be alive and well rather than making other races feel inferior that their parents or grandparents migrated a generation or two later than yours did.

Meanwhile in Quebec...

Hi Jonna. I've been thinking the same thing too. I'd probably call the OIIQ office next week about this.

They won't directly hire you unless you're already a registered nurse in Canada. Work on your immigration first or work visa and then register as a nurse once you come here. That's what I've been doing. Good luck to you!

Wait for FSW to open. QSW requires you to stay in Quebec and not use it as a backdoor to Canada. If you want to apply as a QSW nurse then prepare to stay here in Quebec because you'd be legally obligated to stay in the province (or nation, as they like to call it) as their skilled worker and not Alberta's or any other province.

Let's see. Student visa application process (CAQ) + Permanent resident application after a year in Quebec(CSQ + Canadian PR) would take you at least 3 years vs. Permanent resident application in BIQ-HK and Canadian Embassy Manila that would take about a year. Yeah, I'd take PR application in the Philippines anytime.

Students have been protesting for months now here in Montreal due to the proposed increase to tuition fees. If you guys have the experience then you should've applied as skilled workers so that you'd already be immigrants when you land here in Quebec and you won't have to raise that amount of money.

I've already received your message. I'd answer your questions there since this thread concerns only about registration of International Nurses in Quebec and not the immigration part. @RNurse22 I've submitted my application on Dec 2010. Got my visa after a year.

@mademoiselle michele I think your questions are a bit off topic. I think I have answered some of your concerns on my previous posts so you can just read them. You can search for interview tips for immigration on other forums that focuses on these topics too. Good luck on your application and have a great day!

If you're looking for tips for how to migrate to Quebec then I'd probably recommend that you register on Immigration forums like canadavisa or pinoy2canada. Good luck!

Miasat is the only Filipino I know who's ever been there and have registered to OIIQ. Ask her for more details or search for her previous posts in other threads. It is very useful and it will provide you a good idea on how to register to OIIQ.

@rafaeltoney Even if you can apply for NOC 3011, it isn't in the priority list for Federal Skilled Worker class in Canada. Wait for the NOC 3152 to open up in July and then apply for that. Even if you are a head nurse in your country, you'd still start as a staff nurse in Canada without a license to practice.

@pucca1988You can try getting a visa and try to register there in Montreal. You got a lot of questions for someone who's planning to migrate. I hope you did your research before you took the jump. Good luck!

Hello tincy. Have you applied for OIIQ yet? Do you already have a visa or are you an immigrant who is in Quebec right now?

^ I think that's a little bit off topic but they'll mostly ask you about Quebec culture and your plans on how to migrate to Quebec. From there they'll gauge whether you'll be a good candidate as a resident in Quebec. Good luck!
