Bring your nursing career to Canada!
Canada needs nurses. What are you waiting for to come study and work here?
The shortage of nurses in Canada has become a major concern in recent years. With an aging population and increasing demands placed on healthcare systems, the shortage of nurses has become a systemic problem in the country.
Fortunately, Canada is welcoming internationally trained nurses to help fill that gap.
These nurses are authorized to work in Canada after completing a proper credentialing assessment and passing an exam. This exam is designed to ensure that the nurse has the knowledge, skills and competencies needed to provide safe and effective care in the Canadian healthcare system.
Don't worry, foreign nurses have the opportunity to prepare for the necessary exams. Our partner school offers a course specifically designed to help foreign nurses become familiar with the Canadian healthcare system and prepare for the process of validating their career in the country.
Currently, the minimum wage in British Columbia is $16.75.
