![Question](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hi,
I'm aiming to apply via PNP for nursing post in British Columbia. I want to work in the Kootenays as a Psychiatric Nurse but acknowledge that there are more posts in Vancouver.
Is there a limit on how long I need to work in Vancouver or, as a provincial sponsorship, can I move as soon as a post becomes available in Kootenays as it is still BC? Even if it is a part time or fixed term contract?
Do I have to work for the Heath service or can I work for a charity as I do now?
Many thanks

You need to get licensed first.

Thanks Andrew
I'm aiming to be registered with BC before I arrive. Application sent and hope to sit during my next vacation.

Yes I will be using Healthmatch - BC. My immediate background is Health Informatics. Is there an alternative to Healthmatch that anyone knows?
