While being a nurse will help you to qualify to immigrate, you're far more likely to require additional training and to take extra courses and write extra exams. Immigrating to Canada takes a long time. I would advise you to review http://www.cic.gc.ca There is a self-assessment quiz you should take, too, to see if you even qualify to come here. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assess/index.asp You need to have a job offer, too. For that, you will want to contact the Canadian Nurses Association. The link to their website is http://www.cna-nurses.ca/CNA/default_e.aspx Please note that Canada is already having to work through a thick backlog of applications from other prospective immigrants. We have about 980,000 applications already and so even if you qualify and apply today, you'll be in a very long line. Canada only accepts about 250,000 new immigrants each year so I think you can see that it'll take a long time for you.
