I think which ever province you go in Canada, you will definitely start from zero and go back to being a bedside RN. The NOC 3011 that you are applying for requires you to have a degree in management in Canada and have an experience as bedside RN which will take years. To be an RN, it would normally take 2-3 years as stated by my former colleagues who are already there. How much more if you want to become a Nurse Manager. I think you need to be more realistic with your goals bosschips. Be it in Quebec or other provinces, you will still go through the same process. Transition to being a bedside RN according to my former colleagues in Canada is definitely not a breeze.bosschips said:Depending on the outcome of my FSW application. Lately, I have realized that applying to Quebec might not be the best for my nursing career. Recently, I have been assigned to manage our hospital's hemodialysis unit. With this transition, I have found it to be the most rewarding and would like to master this specialty in the future. If I continue to migrate to Quebec, I have to start from zero in contrast to applying to an Anglophone province, transition to the profession will be a breeze. I'd continue to Quebec if there was no choice but the FSW program opened and it is a better bet for me.
I am still waiting for the results of my IELTS which will be available on the 23rd. Who knows, tides change easily.
Good luck to all applicants!
