In this video, Tod Maffin from BC explains how to move to Canada as an American healthcare worker:
It can be confusing, but here is how immigrating to Canada as a healthcare worker works. (Note - this video was made by Tod Maffin in Nanaimo BC. It pertains to all of Canada as immigration is a federal policy)
The Atlantic Immigration Program and the Nova Scotia Nominee Program are key pathways for immigrants to settle safely in Nova Scotia, offering support for skilled workers and international graduates. These programs help connect newcomers with job opportunities and provide resources for successful integration into the community.
Nova Scotia will prioritize submissions that align with current economic and labour market needs. Priority areas may include sectors such as healthcare, construction and trades, STEM, natural resources, manufacturing, and other workforce needs across the province. These priorities will evolve overtime based on labour market data and government direction.
