Nurses: Going to Canada
What is a Registered Nurse
Here you will find a description of the duties normally performed by a Registered Nurse (RN) in Canada.
The following 12 nursing specialties are in particular demand in Canada:
1. Critical Care
2. Intensive Care
3. Cardiac Care
4. Emergency
5. Burn Unit and Care
6. Neonatal Care
7. Dialysis/Hemodialysis
8. Neurosciences
9. High Risk Labour and Delivery/Maternal Care
10. Trauma and Neurotrauma
11. Operating Room
12. Oncology
If you are an Internationally trained nurse specializing in one of these fields, you have an excellent chance of finding a job in Canada. To qualify for employment in Canada, you need to do the following:
- select a province where you want to work and contact the provincial Nursing licensing body (it is usually called a College or Association).
- individuals from outside the province (or country) must have completed a nursing program comparable to one in the chosen province;
- provide evidence of recent practice;
- achieve a passing score on the professional examination (this can be done after you receive your temporary registration/license and arrive in Canada);
- demonstrate reasonable fluency in written and spoken English or French;
- and show proof of Canadian Citizenship, landed immigrant status, or authority under the Immigration Act (Canada) to practise nursing (if you do not have this proof, include a letter of request to wave this requirement for the purposes of temporary registration).
For more info, see the section on Ontario below (note that a similar process is in place in other provinces). |
