You do realize that your NOC is on the "demand" list for Federal Skilled worker? That with one year of work experience, you can apply under FSW Cetegory 1?

Still, CEC is faster and easier than FSW.
And, with as many nurse positions as are available, I'm amazed that you're working for an agency...

Thanx Jes for the links that u provided. I knew about hfojobs.ca and I have been applying for jobs through the website but got only one interview. The interview i got was when i graduated in 2010. It was a very successful phone interview and the job was at sudbury but at the end i lost the job because i couldnt get 3 references that they required. i managed to get only 2 references and it was not enough for them. since then, i have been applying thousands of times without success. if not for agency, i wouldnt be working at all. i have sent thousands of resumes without success. They always advertise jobs, but when u apply, no one will contact u. i am still looking for permanent position. i know that nurses are high in demand but lots of people are already in the field that's why it is hard to find job. i feel frustrated at times but what can i do?. i ended up now with 2 agencies and have acquired like 1600hrs all together. i am still hoping to get all hours b4 summer but sometimes, jobs are slow. i will be writing my ielts this saturday and i've been restless. hope to pass and get rid of it. immigration have been tough for me since i came here 8yrs ago and this skilled worker is the only hope that i have to immigrate otherwise i dont know what the future will hold for me. my pgwp expires in august 2013
i am just expressing my concerns and feelings and i appreciate all your kindness and concerns. pls if u have any other advice for me, i am all ears as i believed that u are more experienced than i do. Thanx and have a wonderful day
