Frequently Asked Questions — Travel Nursing in Canada
Still have questions? Here are some of the things nurses ask us most often. If you don't see yours below, reach out — our recruiters are happy to talk through your specific situation.
What is travel nursing in Canada?
Travel nursing is a form of contract nursing where registered nurses take short or long-term assignments at healthcare facilities across the country — often in locations outside their home province. It's a way to gain diverse clinical experience, explore new communities, and earn competitive compensation, all while staying fully employed.
Do I need a certain amount of experience to become a travel nurse?
Most travel nursing placements require at least one to two years of recent clinical experience in your specialty. This ensures you can hit the ground running in a new facility with minimal orientation time. That said, requirements vary by contract — our recruiters will help you identify placements that match where you are in your career.
Can I choose where I want to work?
Absolutely. At Select Medical Connections, matching you to the right location is a big part of what we do. Whether you have a specific province in mind, want to experience remote nursing in northern Canada, or prefer a large urban hospital, we work with you to find assignments that fit your preferences — not just our open list.
How long are travel nursing contracts in Canada?
Contract lengths vary widely. Many run between 8 and 13 weeks, though longer placements of 6 months or more are also common, especially in remote and rural settings. Your recruiter will walk you through what's available and help you find a duration that works for your lifestyle.
What provinces and territories does Select Medical Connections place nurses in?
Select places nurses across all of Canada — from major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary to smaller communities and remote northern postings. If you're open to where your next assignment takes you, the possibilities are genuinely national.
What kind of support does Select Medical Connection provide during a contract?
We're with you from the first conversation to the last day of your contract. That includes help with licensing and credentialing, travel coordination, housing guidance, and a dedicated recruiter who stays in touch throughout your placement. You won't be left figuring things out on your own.
