Guiding You Through The Immigration Pathways For Nurses
CanDo Immigration will meticulously walk you through your immigration options to ensure a successful outcome.
Express Entry
We help registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and internationally educated nurses create a strong Express Entry profile that highlights their education, work experience, and eligibility. Nurses may also benefit from targeted healthcare Express Entry draws, where candidates in high-demand health-sector roles are prioritized for permanent residency. CanDo Immigration helps position your application to improve your chances of being invited to apply.
Provincial Nominee Program
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) is designed to help provinces address local healthcare professional shortages. Through nurse-focused streams such as those within the BC PNP, Ontario PNP, and other provincial programs, nurses may be nominated for permanent residency. CanDo Immigration helps you identify the right provincial stream, prepare a strong application, and align your profile.
Work Permit
Many nurses begin their journey with a temporary work permit supported by a job offer from a Canadian healthcare employer. We help employers with their LMIA applications so they can hire internationally trained nurses, and then help them hire nurses for the role. Then we help you navigate the process from job offer to work permit, ensuring your application is accurate, complete, and aligned with Canadian immigration requirements.
