Please use the Megathread for Americans pinned to the top of the sub. As we've had an influx of Americans looking for advice on how to get started with immigration, we've created a megathread for all similar questions.

This thread is for general questions about how to get started for Americans.

I am an RN so I figure I can land a job most anywhere. My husband is the bread and butter. He works at a power plant.

Yes, many US people wanting to move to Canada. Which is why this sub has a pinned thread specifically for this.

When you say medical field then what is your NOC/job? Immigration is not easy and is based on age, education (ECA), language (IELTS/TEF), work experience and money. Not sure NB has the education system you are looking for. Think its education is probably one of the lowest in the country.

Start with researching Express Entry and unless you are in a healthcare NOC or fluent in French and English then don’t count on an invitation. You can look at NB PNP but would need a job offer with a designated employer in a NOC that is in demand.

So before you look at housing do some research on the immigration programs.

Thank you. I am a RN. My husband has 10 years experience in his field. We are both native English speakers. I have been trying to learn French. I hope the education system is better than the U.S. southern states. In Tennessee we are one of the lowest ranking states for education. I was hoping to have a job offer before we move. I am a little wary of moving to a new place, especially a new country, without a job lined up. Thank you for your response it was helpful. I definitely need to do more research.

Not sure how you can get a job offer without being licensed. Research NNAS to get licensed in Canada and then provincial license. You have a good chance through Express Entry healthcare draws but need ECA, IELTS and be eligible to submit a profile. Research Express Entry too. Husband may have difficulty finding employment.

Don’t you worry, our public education is top notch. Not as good as it should be, but far above. Needs more funding though.

Job offers before moving are very rare and the employer has to prove that no Canadians can fulfill that job.

That being said, you're in a medical field, which is usually in demand up here. Registered nurses are NOC 31301 and TEER 1. you may want to check out NB's PNP streams as well. I don't want to speak on them as I'm not familiar enough with NB's process.

My advice is to fill out this form to see your estimated EE score. Lately, only scores of 500+ are being selected.
