Hi,

What course do YOU want to take or are you just going to use the student route to enter Canada? You certainly can not take up MS in Nursing as there is no lack of educational institutions offering post graduate degrees in nursing. Hope this link helps you.

But you certainly are in a position to apply as a skilled worker as nurses are needed in Canada. All the best.

It should be a course not offered in the Philippines and when you present it to CIC, it should be something that would be of benefit to you when you go back to the Philippines. You must show enough "ties" in the Philippines that would make you want to go back after you're done with your studies. Just got through some of the threads of others who tried or are trying to go to Canada as students. Good luck.
