To begin your journey with us, please sign up for one of our weekly online orientations for nurses or caregivers. You will receive an email with different links to attend one of the upcoming orientation via Zoom. Make sure to check your spam folder if you are having issues finding the email!
Consent Form
During the orientation you will be asked to fill in a consent form to receive our language training kit, which will aid you in acquiring basic Finnish language skills. Make sure the email you provided us in the consent form matches the one you used to sign up for the orientation with. This enables us to easily follow and support each applicants progress.
Interview
Upon submitting your documents via our detailed information form we will review your documents to ensure that everything is in order and that you meet all requirements. Once approved you will receive your link to book your interview.
Language Studies
Once you pass the interview and have all your documents checked you will begin your language studies in earnest. We understand that your schedule may be hectic, so our classes are designed to be flexible and accommodate your needs. We will also provide one-on-one sessions with a teacher to assist you in mastering the Finnish language in no time at all!
Picking an Employer
After six weeks of study, we will work with you to select an employer and guide you through the residency permit process. Upon completion of language training and acquisition of your residency permit, you will be ready to embark on your journey to Finland.
Welcome to Finland!
Upon arrival in Finland, we will be waiting for you to pick you up from the airport and bring you to your new apartment. We will also assist you in setting up bank accounts, registering with population services, and familiarizing yourself with your new workplace. We are here to make the transition to your new home as smooth as possible.
