Hello everyone
I would like to attend a practical nursing diploma program in a Canadian institution, however I understand that not all regions offer jobs to international students who are graduates of nursing programs. For example on this thread here http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/bsc-nursing-degree-graduate-can-only-practice-after-pr-status-t136999.0.html
It says
As far as ONTARIO province is concerned, practicing as an RN or RPN in Ontario... it is compulsory to get registered with "College of Nurses of Ontario" -a self-regulating body for registered nurses (RNs) and registered practical nurses (RPNs) in Ontario.
www.cno.org/

And "College of Nurses of Ontario" ONLY ALLOWS CANADIAN CITIZENS AND PRs to apply for registration to start practicing as RN or RPN in Ontario.
http://www.cno.org/en/become-a-nurse/new-applicants1/outside-canada/registration-requirements-for-rns-and-rpns/ -- read point 6. (official website
So I would like to know the provinces / regions that offer PGWP / hire international practical nursing graduates.
