Nursing professionals everywhere now have a great opportunity to immigrate to Canada.
On August 1st, 2013, the latest details regarding the Quebec Skilled Worker Program were announced.
This is great news for Nurses. The Quebec Skilled Worker Program relies on a points-based selection system and Nurses receive the most points for the "field of study/area of training" selection factor.
With an aging population that is increasingly in need of healthcare services, Nurses in Quebec are highly sought after professionals with numerous career opportunities. The Quebec Skilled Worker Program is one of the few economic immigration programs offering a Canadian permanent resident visa without requiring an applicant to obtain a valid job offer from a Canadian employer.
The Quebec Skilled Worker Program will only accept a limited number of applications and so Nurses, who wish to apply for Canadian permanent residence should begin preparations now.
