Welcome to the site

A lot will depend on when you trained and whether you have hours both theory and practical in all areas. You will then need to apply to the province you want to live and be assessed, you will have to sit and pass CRNE at some stage. Also as a healthcare worker you will have to have a medical and process your application through London for a work permit. Initially you will be getting a temp work permit (TWP) If you look for posts by RGN1 she has recently made the move from UK to Calgary and her posts are informative
