Nursing in Alberta

[abisehiyo]

Hello everyone! A very kind heart is so much appreciated.
Is anybody here in Edmonton a temporary foreign worker, specifically a REGISTERED NURSE at any area and settings? I just wanted to know at what employer are you working with. It is really very very hard to get an employer that is willing to get and LMO and work visa. I almost got hired at Misericordia Community Hospital, interview done, and medicals on schedule but when I ask them if they would possibly provide me an LMO, they turned me down. Very upsetting.
Me and my hubby moved here 2 mos ago, and from then on I never stopped looking for a job. I received a lot of calls for interviews, but because of the LMO, I always don't qualify.

Please a little HELP with the info of employer.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there! I am not from Edmonton but I'm an RPN in Ontario.

If you are a temporary foreign worker, chances are you might have a hard time finding an employer - hospital or nursing home who are willing to get you an LMO. There are lots of RNs and RPNs within Canada that are looking for the same job as you.

Is there any chance you can apply for Permanent Residence? You can also try home care for the time being.

Hope this helps a little. Good luck.
