A Comprehensive Guide to Canadian Travel Nursing Requirements

Travel nursing has become a popular career choice for many healthcare professionals in Canada. It offers opportunities for adventure, higher pay rates, and the chance to gain experience in different healthcare settings. If you are interested in pursuing a career as a travel nurse in Canada, it's essential to understand the requirements to ensure a smooth and successful transition. Luckily we are here to share this comprehensive guide to Canadian travel nursing requirements.

Nursing License

To work as a travel nurse in Canada, you must hold a valid nursing license. The specific type of license required depends on the province or territory in which you plan to work. Each province or territory has its own regulatory body for nursing, and you must meet their licensing requirements. Typically, you must have completed an accredited nursing program, passed the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX), and met any additional requirements, such as language proficiency or criminal background checks.

Experience and Skills

Travel nursing positions in Canada typically require a certain level of experience and skills. Employers may require a minimum number of years of nursing experience, and some may prefer candidates with experience in a specific specialty, such as critical care, emergency, or oncology. In addition to experience, having a diverse set of nursing skills, such as IV insertion, wound care, and medication administration, may be advantageous as a travel nurse. That’s not to say that you can not get a travel nurse contract without experience, it is just preferred.

Documentation

As a travel nurse in Canada, you will need to provide various documentation to meet the requirements. This includes your nursing license, professional certifications, immunization records, a vulnerable sector criminal background check, references, and proof of education and training. Additional documentation may be required as requested by your employer or regulatory body.

Work Permit/Visa

If you are not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you will need a work permit or visa to work as a travel nurse in Canada. The specific type of permit or visa required depends on your country of origin and the length of your intended stay. You will need to obtain the necessary permit or visa before starting your travel nursing assignment in Canada. It's important to understand the requirements and process for obtaining a work permit or visa, as it can vary depending on your situation.

Professional Liability Insurance

As a travel nurse in Canada, you will be required to have professional liability insurance, also known as malpractice insurance. This insurance provides coverage in case of any legal claims or lawsuits related to your nursing practice. It's important to understand the requirements for professional liability insurance and ensure that you have adequate coverage before starting your travel nursing assignment. The Hero Care HR department can assist in answering any questions you may have surrounding PLP insurance, as where to obtain also varies province to province

Flexibility and Adaptability

Lastly, travel nursing requires a high level of flexibility and adaptability. You will be working in different healthcare settings, with different policies, procedures, and patient populations. Being able to adapt to new environments, work with different teams, and quickly learn and apply new information is essential for success as a travel nurse in Canada.

It's important to research and understand the specific requirements of the province or territory where you plan to work and ensure that you are prepared to meet them. With the right qualifications and preparation, travel nursing in Canada can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience.

Future-Proofing Your Healthcare Organization Against Nursing Staffing Shortages

Creating a space for nurses to thrive.

Northern Medical Connections is a preferred Canadian travel nurse agency, proudly based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Our mission is to connect nurses to job opportunities across Canada where they feel valued, supported & safe.

Woman standing in nature with open space

Started by Nurses. For Nurses.

Northern Med is a very different kind of agency. Unlike most travel nurse agencies, Northern Med was founded by an RN who has over 10 years experience working as a travel nurse across Canada - our founder Matthew Jurcina. Matthew loved being a travel nurse, but after years in the industry he knew there had to be a better way; dreaming of an agency that vetted placements in-person before sending in new nurses, where staff could support you both clinically & administratively, and where quality patient-care & work-life balance were the top two priorities. ‍‍ So, in between shifts and placements Matthew started building Northern Med - eventually bringing together a dream team of staff; nurses to help with the clinical perspective, experts in healthcare administration to work with health authorities across the country, and HR pros to handle the high volume of placements and staff. The result has been Northern Med becoming one of Canada's topnotch Travel Nursing Agencies, recruiting healthcare professionals who are falling in love with nursing again!

A team you can trust.

icu travel nurse canada

Community you can stand with.

If you're on your own, moving to a different community & starting a new job placement, the change can be daunting... That's why community makes all of the difference. Northern Med not only commits to finding you ideal placements - we'll also ensure you feel supported, cared for, & a part of something bigger while you're there!

icu travel nurse canada

We care about patient care.

Northern Med truly cares about seeing our nurses deliver exemplary patient care . It is a top priority for our agency. We believe the best way to guarantee strong health outcomes is to take incredible care of our nurses so that they can take incredible care of their patients.

icu travel nurse canada

Balance isn't just a pretty idea.

When a company tells you they value a healthy work-life balance , do they really mean it? Most often you're still left feeling guilty for requesting vacation, expressing your needs, or doing anything other than showing up for work. Well, we're done with that. Time to take back control of your life AND your career. Northern Med is here to help.

We bring everything to the table.

Our dream team is made of up an incredibly diverse and balanced group of people - with mixed professional backgrounds in nursing, human resources, business administration, and healthcare management.

Since founding Northern Med, Matthew has become an advocate for health, wellness, and balance - specifically in the nursing field. He is a proud husband and father of two boys. He loves all things hockey and will gladly join you on the ice for a quick game of shinny!
