How to immigrate as a nurse with a GNM or B.Sc in Nursing in any province from India with minimum experience of 1 year (Using programs such as Express Entry, PNP, or LMIA)?
Immigrating as a Nurse from India ?
- Thread starter 0001buddies
- Start date
First - Are you eligible for Express Entry based on age, education (ECA), language, experience and funds?
Are you licensed to work as a nurse in Canada through NNAS and then you have your provincial license? If not, research that.
PNP - research what provinces you are eligible for without a license.
LMIA only an option if you get a job offer and employer cannot find anyone in Canada qualified.. If you are not licensed as a nurse then LMIA is not really an option.
Do I need a license from the province or from Canada if I apply under Express Entry?
You can immigrate through Express Entry without being licensed. You cannot work in nursing until you are licensed. Do you have an EE profile? What is your score?
immigration and getting a license to practice are two different things. Well, with a license, then you could get a job as a nurse.
some people can immigrate based on their education and age and language skill but won't be able to practice. And if that's not what you want, research on getting lincese from the province you intend to immigrate to.
Actually I am helping my friend her CRS 324 and Could you please recommend a specific NOC (33102, 31302) for NURSE from India for us?
Thanks in advance.

You want to increase your points by 100. What is your profile? So you have an eligible profile submitted?
Age 24
Never Married
Bachelor Degree B.sc Nursing (4years) India
1 year work Experience (Indian) as a Nurse
Clb 7 (ielts)
No siblings in Canada
So you have ECA for degree. Get another two years of experience and your score will be much higher. In the meantime, start the NNAS process and see if you can become licensed in Canada.
don't have ECA yet can you please suggest us any assessment body ?and Could you please recommend a specific NOC (33102, 31302) for NURSE from India for us?
Go on the IRCC site for the list for your ECA. WES is the most common. You match job responsibilities to the NOC. 31302 is nurse practitioners with a masters degree. What are your IELTS bands? First you need to see if you are even eligible for EE with your selection score of at least 67. Selection score grid is on the EE website too.
Reread my post because I updated my comment. You may not even be elgibile for EE based on your selection score. You need 67 points.
But she doesn't have a master's degree; she has a B.Sc. in Nursing (4 years). So, do you think she qualifies under NOC 31302? Thanks in advance
Does her job responsibilities match the NOC? Is she a nurse or nurse practitioner.
