Nursing Career in Canada

•Large Nursing shortages throughout Canada . Why?

-Median age of Canadians = 40.7 vs. 25.9 for India

- Aging Canadian population means more medical needs

-Shortage and high costs of Doctors resulting in Nursing scope being expanded

- Canada is not like US, Universal Healthcare system guarantees hospital, nursing and doctor visits free of costs

-Canadian nursing graduates unable to keep pace with demand

Net Result > shortages to continue next 10 to 20 years

Nursing vs. Direct Migration Do you qualify for Direct PR to Canada?

- Need 67 Points

- need work experience of 3 to 4 years

- very limited quota of 500 or 1000 from whole world
