2. transfer RN license from US to canada

   You’ll have to contact the licensing body of the province you’re moving to and they can guide you. Canada doesn’t have ADNs. Most likely you’ll be an LPN.

   Might as well try to see if you can be an RN here. But it’s highly unlikely cuz to be an RN you need a degree. LPNs are diploma Exactly. you can’t just come and work. You have to have get some sort of visa. And I have zero clue about that...

4. USA RN to relocate to Canada

   amandab13 replied to gardengrower92's topic in Immigration

   You’re best bet is probably to contact CARNA and see if they’ll accept your ADN first. LPN pay in clinics is usually around $25-$27. Have seen as low as $22 and high as $30. Starting wage here for hospitals is $27. All hospitals in Alberta are uni...

5. USA RN to relocate to Canada

   amandab13 replied to gardengrower92's topic in Immigration

   As an ADN, I don’t think you’ll be able to register as an RN in Alberta. You’ll have to contact CARNA (College of Registered Nurses of Alberta. The licensing body for RNs in our province). the mix of Days/nights is standard in Canada. Almost all o...

8. License Cancellation period

   amandab13 replied to Prabh jossan's topic in Canada

   I know in Alberta, you have to have a certain number of hours to keep your license. So after 4 years you don’t have the required number (which is 1000 or 1200 I believe) you cannot keep your license but will have to take a refresher course. I woul...

    What she said. move heard it’s a very lengthy process. To be honest, I’m not 100% sure how it all works, but I would start sooner than later. It may take years.

13. USA RN to relocate to Canada

    amandab13 replied to gardengrower92's topic in Immigration

    One thing I see a lot of you haven’t mentioned is getting a work visa. You just can’t come to Canada to work. And depending on where you want to work, you may get denied. Especially if there isn’t a shortage of nurses (like in Alberta for example. Th...
