@ familyof4: i'm also a nurse here in the philippines. what are the requirements needed if i will work as a health care aide? thank you..
hi rhaemme,after u get ur SIN, Healthcard, you should get e criminal record check for local employment,just write any employer it wont matter,and get a child abuse registry check in garry street, then do first aid and CPR here, i paid 75$ , cuz when u look at the requirements online they look for these.There are agencies who will hire you as health care aid even if you are not certified as long as you have the experience, but some will hire you as support workers, companion..apply in home health care agencies for the meantime cuz nursing homes wont hire you unless you really know "someone ".this is the best and easy way u can get a job at least, but then they will put you in different locations, like nursing homes, retirement homes, and being a health care aid here, u do everything even cleaning, so the thing is dont be picky cuz once u get canadian experience it will be easy for you to apply to other companies.I heard from others that u can challenge the exam for health care aid but u have to pay.so i didnt do that, since i can be health care aid, home support worker.also, once ur here go right away to safety building to get a criminal record check,with fingerprint, that is if ur planning to have your papers assessed in College of Registered Nursing CRNME.This is a different criminal record check, it will got to Toronto so it takes 4 months processing.This criminal record check(with fingerprint) delays my assessment cuz i was not told to get it right away, I thought the local criminal record check was the same as this.Do you have Ielts?its better if u already have Ielts results.I hope my tip helps.just ask question and try to answer it.
