Are you a nurse dreaming of working abroad in 2025? Whether you’re aiming for the UK, Australia, Canada, or beyond — this step-by-step guide will walk you through the essential process of nurse immigration and how Oportal can help you get there confidently.
Step 1: Check Your Eligibility
Before starting the process, you’ll need to ensure you meet the basic requirements:
- A valid nursing degree or diploma
- Active nursing registration/license in your home country
- Minimum required work experience (varies by country)
- Proficiency in English (usually via OET or IELTS)
Step 2: Decide Your Destination Country
Each country has its own licensing, visa, and employment rules for overseas nurses. Here are a few popular options:
- UK – Requires OET/IELTS + CBT + OSCE
- Australia – Requires OET/IELTS + AHPRA registration
- Canada – Requires NCLEX + IELTS/CELBAN
- Ireland – Requires English test + adaptation or assessment
Oportal can help you compare and choose the country that aligns best with your qualifications and goals.
Step 3: Pass the Required Exams
Based on your chosen country, you’ll need to complete specific exams:
- OET or IELTS – Proof of English language proficiency
- CBT (UK) – Computer-based theoretical test
- OSCE (UK) – Objective Structured Clinical Examination
- NCLEX (Canada/US) – Nursing licensing exam
