Nursing Job-Search and Career Guidance
Knowing where to apply, and what to learn next, can be just as hard as writing the resume. We give practical, general guidance based on your designation, experience and goals.
Job-search guidance
- Finding nursing roles that match your designation and experience
- Reading job postings and understanding what employers ask for
- Looking beyond hospitals: long-term care, home and community care, and rural employers
- Adapting each application to the employer and setting
- Keeping track of applications and following up
Career advancement guidance
- Courses and certifications that may support the role you want
- Planning steps toward a promotion or a new area of practice
- General guidance for internationally educated nurses on working in Canada
Please note
Our guidance is general. Course, certification and promotion requirements differ by employer, province and designation, and registration requirements are set by your provincial nursing regulator. Please confirm final requirements with the employer or regulator, and speak with IRCC or a licensed professional for immigration or legal questions.
Questions
Who should I contact about immigration or registration applications?
Our focus is your nursing career. For visas and permanent residence, the right contact is IRCC or a licensed immigration professional. For registration, contact your provincial nursing regulator, such as the College of Nurses of Ontario.
