[vandanadalal]

Hi

I am doing my B.Sc in Nursing from India and will be completing in Aug 2015. I am looking to work in Canada as a Nurse. I will really appreciate you guys if youcan guide or help in finding a job offer or getting work permit done to work here in Canada.

Thanks,
VD

You'll need to be certified to work as a nurse in Canada before you can qualify for a job here. This involves taking an exam that can only be taken in person in Canada. You should research the certification process as a first step to working in Canada. Here's some information to get you started (the process can vary from province to province):

Thanks Scylla

So, can I give this examination if I visit Canada on a visitor visa, give the exam and then apply to jobs from India?

Yes - you can certainly do that.

Note that is does tend to be quite difficult to secure a job in Canada without PR status. Getting certified to work as a nurse in Canada will by no means guarantee you will be able to get a job here.
