Which province for new (old) grad?

[CanKor]

I am a new grad in Ontario (or old grad since my hfo just expired). Luckily, I got hired through hfo at a LTC. I only did one in class orientation so far few weeks ago and they still have not called me to do orientations on the floor. Is it possible I am fired??Anyways, since HFO is only for 6 month (DOC said I will be mostly likely switched to casual after hfo ends), I want to prepare for the next job. It seems like it is almost impossible to get a job in Ontario with such little or no experience. I have applied to more than 200 different positions from correctional service to Government of Canada First Nations job (not including all those hfo postins) with barely any replies.

Long story short, I am considering to relocate if I land a secure job even if its a part time. I have been looking up job postings in saskatchewan, Manitoba and even New Brunswick. Any recommendations on where I should be moving to? I want to pick one province and start applying for the license since I guess they won't think I am a serious applicant without their province's license.

Thank you very much in advance! :)

Since you were not hired you into a full time position, your employer must return the balance of the funds to the ministry. The new grad guarantee should be abolished, it is just another misused government initiative that is adding to Ontario's debt.

Of the three provinces you are considering, look at the provincial debt for each and chose the province with the least debt.

Thank you for the tip! Upon quick search, seems like saskatchewan has the least debt. So I will look into moving there.

If you have a vehicle and drivers license, apply for jobs in Sakatchewan towns (small towns will be less competetive than cities).

If you do relocate to Saskatchewan for work, you may be able to deduct moving expenses on your income tax, look up the details on Canadian Revenue Agency and keep the appropriate receipts.

Sounds good to me!

Are you practicing there??

I am practising in Ontario.

Forget about Alberta. Alberta used to be "the place to be" but we are now facing high unemployment due to the oil crisis.

Maybe consider Saskatchewan, Manitoba or Nova Scotia. You would likely find employment in any small town. Small towns are usually desperate for nurses.

That's what I thought. So I excluded alberta from my list. I guess I will stick with Saskatchewan. Hopefully, it doesn't take too long for the license..

The provincial recruitment website Health Careers in Sakatchewan ca is a good resource for you to find job opportunities and information about living in Saskatchewan.

I started applying through that website! There is going to be a job fair this week in Toronto where recruiters from saskatchewan should also be attending. Looking forward to it to make some connections. :)

It's perfect timing for you to attend the job fair, I hope you receive an offer.
