I think you forgot to actually as a question. Are you wondering what the best course of action is? Are you wondering what City would be the best place to apply? If you want to try to find a job in Canada, it shouldn't be hard. We are short staffed for most medical positions. Do some research first as many times education and experience from the Philippines does not hold in Canada. I had a friend who because a nurse in the Philippines, but had to redo her education here before she could work. You will have to do some checking on that. As well, for better chances, it would be best to apply in cities such as Calgary, Edmonton, Regina and Winnipeg that are smaller that Vancouver and Toronto. The job competition would be less. Good Luck!

Check out the Canada Immigration site and all the rules, requirements, shortage lists and steps to take will be on there, You can download the application kit from this site as well.
Before you fill out the application to work temporarily in Canada you will need:
a written job offer from your employer
proof that you meet the requirements of the job (for example, proof of certain education or work experience) and
the positive labour market opinion on your job offer from Human Resources and Social Development Canada (HRSDC), if one is required. In some cases, you can submit your application while you wait for the positive labour market opinion.
See Concurrent processing in the Related Links section at the bottom of this page.
If you need an HRSDC opinion, it is up to your employer to get it and send it to you.
If you are thinking of immigrating to Canada there is a whole different process involved.
Fees can range from $100 Cdn to as much as $2000 Cdn when all applicable fees are totalled up
You also have to find out if your education will be recognized in Canada, a lot of medical training isnt -
Good luck

You have to apply to the Canadian Embassy in The Philipines . We have had a lot of nurses here over the years from The Philipines. I worked as a nurse in the 60's and 70's and worked with many filipina nurses. We always need more nurses and doctors. Good Luck!
