Can canadian nurse with Portuguese certificate get job in Canada?

Nurses are in high demand in Canada, but the verification process can be rigorous. I think that working in England will help. The following places might help be able to help; The Canadian Nurses Association, the Canadian Department of Immigration and Citizenship. As your wife is a dual citizen, she shouldn't have problems coming to Canada, unless she falls into the group of dual citizens that had their citizenship removed because they didn't file some paperwork. (This is a select group of people during a specific period of time, but I don't have the exact details.) You might have a bit more of a challenge, and will have to go through the permanent residency process.
