opportunities in canada for international student?
I was born in Panama. My parents are chinese. I'm currently attending a college in california, USA. My parents are planning to move to canada (maybe winnipeg, perhaps vancouver). I'm going with them. I've read bad stuff about immigrants going back to their countries because Canada doesn't recognize their skills and because they don't get paid well. I want to study nursing in Canada. is it too difficult for international students to get into a nursing program? could i be hired by hospitals, etc, after getting my diploma, even if I'm an international student? also, how expsensive is it to live in vancouver? and winnipeg? please, no silly answers. I need help and information. Thanks Please remember that I'm an international student. I know nurses are highly needed. I want to get me nursing degree there. will i be able to get a job afterwards?

Hi I'm not in the medical field but I am from Canada. Canada has a great need for nurses. It will be very easy to get a job anywhere in Canada. As for living expenses Vancouver is one of the most expesive places to live in Canada. Winnipeg is much cheaper but the weather is very cold to people who are not used to live in Canada.

In my opinion, the warmth of the Canadian people will make up for the cold temperatures in Canada. I don't think you'll have any trouble getting into a nursing program. The gentleman who answered you first is right --- Canada currently has a shortage of nurses. There are even more opportunities for work and the potential to make an outstanding salary in the Northwest Territories. Most institutions of higher education in Canada welcome international students with open arms....particularly if your grades are solid. The "Finding Your School" page on the website below will help you conduct a search by province and program of study. You should also read about the differences between the educational systems in the U.S. and Canada so you have a clear understanding of the type of school you're looking for. Good luck to you (and your family)! ADDITIONAL LINK TO NEWSLETTER BELOW....JUST RELEASED TODAY, September, 26, 2007 regarding Canadian schools and jobs for immigrants. Good luck
