Working As A Foreign Nurse In Canada

without comments

Foreign governments have relaxed their immigration rules and national registration requirements on nurses from foreign countries. Even with the recent economic meltdown, studies have shown that vacancies for nurses are opening up on a high level as a result of retirement. In a country such as Canada, nurses retire at 55. As they are retiring, there is creation of huge demand for nurses and since the some of the colleges in the country are not producing enough nurses, the only solution is to hire foreign-trained nurses.

This means that a registered nurse can seek job opportunities in a foreign land, move to this land, settle and begin working there with ease. In order for this to be possible, a nurse must pass an approval rank that is processed through professional criteria and they must abide by the standards of practice in the foreign land. Even after getting approval by the nursing association and the immigration body, it is upon an employer’s discretion to request evidence of your academic credentials.

In some cases, a nurse is required to study a new language which is the official language in the foreign land that he or she is moving to. This ensures that he or she passes the language standards to eliminate chances of language barrier.
