I hope somebody can answer my query. I am an IEN. Should I get a visa visa through PNP, which means I have an employer - sponsored visa, how many tries will the employer allow before the temporary license be revoked? Since it is a conditional offer of employment , with the condition that you pass the CRNE, what if you didn't pass the CRNE on your 1st take?will they give you the opportunity for the THREE takes before they will decide to revoke your temporary license?
after passing the local board exam here in the philippines I had a hard time looking for hospitals that will allow me even as a volunteer. I have zero work experience. , my visa is already approved and hope to be in nova scotia by mid september.
wow! how did you apply for a job in canada? through the web or you have relatives in canada who looked for an employer? i hope i have the same fate as yours... i dont want to be stuck here in the philippines working without pay. haay..
after recieving my eligibility letter from CRNNS, nova scotia. I posted my resume online, just search from the jobbank of canada,. I'm already done with all legal papers that the philippines needed for me to be allowed out of the country, another wastefull steps and burden to its people.

You can save money by doing it yourself and many of us have done it ourselves and made the move with very few problems. A lot will depend on which province you want to live and work in

I would be VERY suspicious of ANY unsolicited approaches from agencies offering to do things for you for a LOT of money that are perfectly doable without their help. I'd also consider that nursing jobs are drying up at an alarming rate in many areas of Canada and that by the time you meet all the requirements to be eligible for the CRNE, there won't be any available jobs anywhere.
hi.. thanks for the replies.. now, i am determined to do most of the things on my own.. but the reply of janfrn really got me.. is ithis true guys? that nursing jobs in Canada are going down? it is pretty alarming.. would it be wise for me not to push thru with my intention to migrate in canada? I know it is still up to me to decide but knowing your expert opinions will at least guide me as they have guided some other people in this forum..
hi silverdragon.. your thread made me curious.. what were the minimal problems that one would encounter somehow in migrating to canada? and what top 3-5 provinces can i consider going to? but janfrn's thread sounds alarming though.. thanks!

I can't tell you which province to go to as I don't know you and what you are after from your life in Canada. The weather changes greatly from east to west as does the lifestyles. Alberta are having big issues at the moment with the health service and a lot of changes with job losses and bed losses.

The only province in western Canada still actively filling vacancies is Saskatchewan and they should be reaching their saturation point soon. They're likely to see an influx of Alberta nurses, both new grads and very experienced ones, in the next few months as Crocodile Duckett continues to close beds and speak of layoffs to come. Manitoba has vacancies mostly on the isolated northern reserves, which would be very unfortunate choices for IENs as the culture, language, climate, cost of living and working conditions are all very different and can be quite difficult. Ontario is seeing new grads from their own nursing programs failing to find full time employment, Quebec has particularly difficult requirements and pays really poorly, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island have small populations, slow economies and few vacancies. Nova Scotia is recruiting but I suspect that won't continue much longer (silverdragon?) and Newfoundland is recruiting but their focus is on bringing "their own" home.
In the past, nursing has followed similar cycles of aggressive recruitment followed by equally aggressive cutbacks. These cycles play out over a number of years. The cycle just ending began in the mid 1990's with wholesale layoffs of nurses, restructuring, deskilling and bed closures. Once the more serious effects of these cuts began being felt, vacancies started popping up again. The changes were rethought and much of what had been done in the name of restructuring was then undone. Over about a decade, the pressure built on the health care system to the point where once again large-scale recruitment was needed. Changes in the economy drive changes in health care more so than the actual need of people for health care. When the dust settles from all of these decisions being made right now, there will be a much worse nursing shortage, but that realization will take years. The 300+ bed closures announced in Alberta on Tuesday are just the tip of the iceberg and there will be many more to come. If Alberta, typically seen as the wealthiest province in the country, is cutting health care spending the rest of Canada is already doing it.
