International nurses | Canada immigration for nurses | Express Entry for RNs | Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) | Work permits for nurses
Thank you for reaching out—and congratulations on your nursing experience! Canada is experiencing a nationwide
shortage of nurses across multiple provinces. Your background in Med-Surg and surgical nursing makes you a strong
candidate for Canadian immigration.
How We Help (RCIC-Led, End-to-End)
At Lawseph & Associates Inc., our licensed RCIC consultants specialize in relocating internationally educated nurses through:
- Express Entry – Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) for direct Permanent Residence (PR) when your CRS profile is competitive.
- Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) with healthcare streams that can boost your PR chances—even with a lower CRS.
- Job-Offer & Work Permit Pathways (LMIA or LMIA-exempt, where applicable) to get you working in Canada sooner while we manage your PR in parallel.
- Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP) via designated employers in Canada’s Atlantic provinces.
What Our Full RCIC Application Processing Includes
- Eligibility strategy: We map the fastest, most reliable path to PR based on your profile.
- Document prep & compliance: We assemble a complete, consistent file to reduce refusals and delays.
- Credential pathway: Guidance on ECA (Educational Credential Assessment) and NNAS/NCLEX-RN steps.
- Language planning: IELTS/CELPIP or TEF strategy to maximize CRS and program eligibility.
- Employer & province targeting: We align your profile with healthcare employers and PNP streams.
- Submission & tracking: We file, monitor, and respond to updates through our secure CRM workflow.
