Nursing in Canada

Canada needs nurses. You’ve probably heard this before. There is a nationwide demand for qualified and experienced nurses in every province and territory in Canada. The increasing healthcare demand of Canadians has surpassed the supply of skilled nursing care services.  Canada is a great place to work as a nurse. Great wage, good working conditions, and employer paid benefits are some of the reasons why practising in this beautiful country is a good choice. 

The Government of Canada’s Immigration and Citizen Website https://www.cic.gc.ca/ will guide you in your decision. There are several immigration programs and you may qualify for some of them.

The National Nursing Assessment Service is your first stop in your journey towards practising nursing in Canada. The NNAS website https://www.nnas.ca/provides all the information you need to register as a nurse in Canada.
