Transferring college credits from USA to Canada, possible?
Hi guys, i really need help and find all the helpful information as possible. I'm basically trying to transfer my credits in United States into Canada, I'm going for a BSN (bachelor in nursing). Is this possible for me to finish my degree in Canada? I have a place to stay and everything i just want to know if its possible. Also if my credits were transferred, can i apply for a permanent citizenship, working permit, or anything at all while going to school in Canada? Thank you, any advice would be nice.

It should be possible, although you may need to redo some of your nursing coursework. This would happen if you were to transfer to a new uni in the US as well. Don't be shocked if this happens. The US and Canadian uni systems are similar enough that you should be able to "transfer credits" and get some sort of advanced standing in the Canadian degree. Keep in mind that the financial aid you may be getting in the US won't follow you to Canada. I don't know if any Canadian unis offer financial aid to foreign students, so you'd need to ask about that. In terms of fees, you'll need to pay the international (or US, if it's offered) student rate, which is normally higher than the rate for Canadians. You also need to prove, for your student visa, that you have those funds: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study-who.asp I believe that nursing is still considered a high demand occupation in Canada, and that will increase your chances of obtaining a work permit there. In addition, the fact that you got your degree in Canada will also help toward that. Canada uses a sort of a points system re: immigration, so having a degree from a Canadian uni, having studied nursing, that all adds points. Other things that may add points are things like having ancestral ties to Canada, speaking French fluently, etc. To apply to stay on in Canada, you'd go this route: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/index.asp

Depending on where in Canada you would like to get a job as a nurse because each province has a College of Nurses. You would have to contact them and find out all the requirements to become licensed in that province. In Ontario you can contact the College of Nurses on their web site as follows- www.cno.org. I know this because I am a nurse in Ontario. I noticed at the end of your question you stated "job in USA". I know each that they have a similar system to ours in regards to licensing. You'd have to contact that states specific "college" as well. I hope this can help you somewhat to get you started towards your goal. Good luck!!!

You need to take the licensing exam in the state in which you want to work. You must have graduated from a nursing school that is accredited and , if you do not have recent experience you will need to take a review course. You can use the site below to contact the appropriate board of nursing. You will also need a work visa for the U.S. See 2nd site.

i don't know the procedure or have the perfect answer for you. but maybe to help you i would recommend to contact the IMC (international medical center) between heliopolis and 10th ramadan on cairo-ismailia road. its a co-working project between egypt and usa and they are american nurses to train local ones as well. maybe they have an exchange programm with usa? i don't know about it, but i would consider it worth a phone call or a visit. if you start there, maybe you get a sponsorship in your further education that way.
