Working as a Registered Nurse In Morocco

[agadir08]

Still tryig to be patient and have faith that my husband will get his PR visa fom Rabat soon.We were told 7 months and we've reached this milestone and still no news.I am a registered nurse here in Canada and I'm wonderng if anyone can give me any information or point me in the right direction of what I need to do to move to Morocco with my husband and work there as a nurse? We wanted to start our lives together here in Canada and then live in Morocco after retirement.If he doesn't get visa by end of 2009 then I have no other choice,I must immigrate to Morocco to be with the love of my life! I always thought of myself as a strong woman but this living so far away from my husband has crippled me emotionally.Every sun rise is bittersweet for me.I open my eyes each morning to face the sad reality that we are still oceans away from each other.On the other hand each sunrise offers hope that today might be the day he gets his visa.He is the life inside me,the blood that runs through my veins,the air that I breathe,my soulmate,my everything.This distance between us must end one way or another.Any info would be greatly appreciated! Incha Allah all of us in this same boat will get our happy ending!

Hi agadir08.

I feel your pain being in the same boat as you. It's been 9 and a half months for me and my husband and I have considered the same things that you are right now.

It's doubtful that anyone here can give you the information you need although you never know. But my guess would be to contact the Moroccan Consulate in Montreal or the Embassy in Ottawa and ask about this. I do know that you would qualify to live and work in Morocco because you are married to a Moroccan but I believe you have to be there to go through to process of getting your national card. You know there are miles of red tape in Morocco but I heard it takes 1 to 2 months. Secondly, I'm wondering if working as a nurse, you would be required to speak French fluently? That could just be for the public hospitals but as you probably know, there are plenty of private hospitals in Morocco and their language requirements may be different. As far as getting your credentials recognized in Morocco, all I can say is that Canadian nurses work all over the world as the training in Canada is seen as world class. From that, I would assume you would be welcome to work there.

I hope you don't have to take this step but I understand why you are considering it. I've already made up my mind that my son and I will move to Morocco if my husband is refused and we will wait out the appeal there. Good luck.

You probably will need a nationality card, or a work permit.

I would look into what it takes to get the card now, as it can take some time.

And it will take longer than 1-2 months to get it. They will issue you a slip with the number on it, but I doubt most places will accept it. I have been waiting for 5 months for my card.
