Why Canada

Canada is one of the few destinations where the immigration system itself is built to keep you: healthcare-targeted Express Entry draws and provincial nominee programs actively select internationally educated nurses for permanent residency. The trade-off is a longer runway — credential assessment and provincial registration take patience — but the endpoint is PR for you and your family.

How licensing works

NNAS assessment — the National Nursing Assessment Service evaluates your Philippine education and licence and issues an advisory report to your chosen provincial regulator.
Provincial registration — each province’s nursing college sets its own requirements; most RN routes include the NCLEX-RN and evidence of English.
Offer, permit & PR — employers support work permits while healthcare-targeted Express Entry draws and PNPs provide the permanent-residency route. Medijobs candidates never pay placement, verification or exam fees — employers cover them.

Common questions

How much do Filipino nurses earn in Canada?

Registered nurses typically earn CAD 65,000–95,000 per year depending on province, setting and experience, with long-term care and northern or rural postings often adding incentives. We confirm exact packages per offer.

How long does the Canada pathway take?

Plan for 12–24 months end-to-end: NNAS assessment, provincial registration (usually including NCLEX-RN), then offer, permit and PR processing.

Do I pay anything to Medijobs?

No. Candidates never pay placement, verification or exam fees — employers cover them. Any agency asking for upfront fees is a red flag under Philippine law.

Do I need NCLEX-RN for Canada?

For registered-nurse routes in most provinces, yes — the NCLEX-RN is the standard registration exam. If you already passed NCLEX for the US, that generally strengthens your Canadian file; we confirm your target province’s exact requirements.
