Just wondering if my girlfriend needs a PR / skilled worker application for registered nursing or can she obtain a temporary work permit. Are there any restrictions to either with regards to nursing? Thank you for your help!
If she is planning for apply for Work Visa, she must be needing the valid eligibility from any nursing authority in Canada along with the job offer letter.
She can apply in Fast Track Skilled Workers program as Nursing is listed in 38 required positions.
Please go through the official canadian immigration side for further detials
Yes she is planning on a work visa. Currently in the process of being assessed by CARNA, then will apply for one of the many positions in alberta under a temporary registration. So is there a suitable visa for it other than the one also comprising of permanent residency? that looked long and serious. We were going with the intention on staying only for a couple years or so.
I am not expert in this but i my opinion if you planning for limited years let say for couple of years then work visa is the most appropriate and faster process but CARNA now a day taking long time to get registered (4-6 months) depend of the case to case.
In which stage your CARNA application is? How long you have been applied?
May be i can able to give you some idea regarding CARNA.
I got my eligibility this april only. I applied last January of this year under the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba. My application for FSW is in process.
CARNA have recieved the application and are currently assessing it. We are moving to Alberta and as far as i know they are in need of nurses and my girlfriend is qualified up to the eyeballs (fingers crossed).
You make mention of a "work visa" does this mean applying for a work permit with all the relevant employer details and job offer in hand?? Is that different to an FSW??
No, i just included my main duties and responsibilities that fits to the space. Take note that I have no certificate of employment which states the duteis and responsibilities. However, I submitted an explanation letter the reasons. Good luck...
