Re: Moving to Canada: Adult Nurse and Mentail Health Nurse
Hi.
Expecting NNAS to take about a year so would look at my visa route once NNAS is underway. Sounds like my only option is the Temp Work Visa?
At least with that visa my points are definitely covered.

I've no idea if you can do that before completing the NNAS process, but hopefully your fellow nurses will be able to help with that side of things.
Best of luck.

Is a job offer needed for a temporary work permit?
If so then it will be equally as difficult as finding a job offer for PR.

You'd then use that job offer to apply for PR. You don't always need a job offer to get PR though - if you score enough you can apply for PR without one.
HTH.

So if I need a job offer for temp visa, I may as well use that job offer for PR?
Can't see getting a Job offer when there's applicants within Canada.
Many thanks for the info and time guys.

So you'd get a job offer and LMIA, then go over on a TWP and start working whilst you apply for PR and wait for it to be processed.
That's how most do it anyway.
HTH, best of luck.

Regarding the CRS. Will that score be necessary if I'm scoring over 67 for express entry, even without a job offer?

Re: Moving to Canada: Adult Nurse and Mentail Health Nurse
Lots and lots and lots of people score over 67 to be eligible to register for Express Entry. I think this is only the first stage though - nothing more.

Basically employers will not enter ai you without pass or eligibility of NCLEX. All jobs I have seen advertised in several provinces will state have license or waiting to sit exam

That's what I am always trying to point out registration first so you can be deemed eligible to apply...and it takes anything from 6 months plus...to get initial response and some further directions to follow...so be prepared for a long long process

Re: Moving to Canada: Adult Nurse and Mentail Health Nurse
Now we know that you need to sort out your registration before you can apply for jobs (thanks Silverdragon & kasiadoran!), if you're not scoring at that level then there's nothing you need to do visa wise yet anyway. So at least you can concentrate on NNAS, and then see what your score looks like when that's sorted, or get job hunting.
Best of luck.

Many many thanks to everyone for the info.
That is now my plan, to sort out NNAS and worry about other things probably later in the year.
Although Calgary is my first choice, having previously spent a little time there, will also keep a close eye on BC as they are said to be making the process a little easier for nurses.

Due to my age of 47 years it has been suggested that I leave my diploma in nursing with several years experience in the UK due to the long winded and expensive process. Been advised to apply for a student visa in 'something else', as long as I can fund and live for 2 years. Informed that I would be able to work up to 20 hours a week around my studies.
Anyone have any experiences of undertaking the 'mature student' route and can I attend college rather than university?

Well done in your persistence. I really do not know where to start with enhancing and topping up etc. Once through all the hoops of NNAS assessments etc, probably be nearer 50!!
How long did you attend a programme of study for and what was it?
