Nursing jobs and requirements in Canada
Hello,
I am totally new to this site and to the Canadian Immigration issues. Please shed some light to some of the questions I have.
First of all, about me, I am a recent graduate nurse (BSN from US) and licensed as a RN in US. I am not currently employed and do not have any nursing experience except for clinical rotations that I did while in nursing school.
1. What are the licensing requirements in Canada, lets say in BC?
2. With the level of education I have, will I be able to work as a RN in Canada?
3. How does nursing job market look like in Canada?
4. My husband has a Bachelor's degree in Accounting & Business Admin., and currently pursuing Masters in Accounting, has total of 3 years experience in the related field. I see that in some of the Canadian immigration sites, they list our professions as those that require licenses. What does he have to do in order to be licensed in Canada, again lets say in BC?
5. Is a license necessary to apply for immigration to Canada as an independent skilled worker?
I apologize for my ignorance, and would highly appreciate any response.
Thank you!
