Question

I want to work in canada, i'm a nurse in Australia, do i get a visa prior or once over there?

Answer 1

also contact the college of nurses for the province that you wish to live in to make sure that they will/can accept your credentials because there is no sense begining your process if they don't accept your licence here.

Good luck I've put the link below for the Ontario college of nurses they are the governing body in the province of Ontario

Answer 2

I think that since you are in Australia, you only need a work permit. After if you want to stay for good you can apply for permanent residency.

Answer 3

You should apply for a visa prior to coming to Canada although you can search for, apply for, and even be accepted into a job prior to coming over.  It is easier to receive a visa if you have a job to come to generally.  Contact the nearest Canadian Consulate or the Canadian Embassy in Canberra for information.
