How can we be nurses in Quebec, Canada?

[donafelchua]

I'm a registered nurse here in The Philippines whereby I am applying as a Quebec Skilled Worker (QSW) and studying french. Hopefully, my application will grant me a visa and permanent residency in Quebec.
Can anybody help me how to go about processing to become or work as a nurse in Quebec? I find it hard searching the resources here. Please help me. Merci!!

There are many nurses here in Quebec from phillipines. Unfortunatly our latest government here in Quebec have reduced the funding to hospitals in their budget. Thus, making it very difficult to find jobs in Quebec as a nurse. Secondly, when you come to Quebec, you will not get a job as RN right away. You will have to do a 3yr course for nursing again, for them to see you qualified. Then they will give you a Quebec nursing license. You can get more info on their "OIIQ" website.

hello.. just wanted to clarify about your post.. most of the nurses i know who are already in quebec said that in order to become a nurse, u have to apply for registration which takes 3-4 mos. then they will determine if u will have to undergo 40days hospital intergration or 5mos cegp course. then ull take the exam, after u passed they will give u temporary license. and u have to take french exam with in 4 yrs in order to have a full license. contrary to 3yrs course of nursing.. please correct me if im wrong. thanks

Is there any resource to know more about it? I am a registered nurse from India and want to come Quebec under QSW.

Though not an expert on Quebec specifically might I suggest that you explore the Live in Caregiver programs. Have a look at the CIC website. This might get you a work permit, and status sooner. And with your skills this might be right up your alley.

Good luck

Hello guys just wondering what are the usual jobs of nurses who landed in QUebec since as I heard that getting a permanent nursing license is very tough? thanks!
