As of 2024, the cost for a European nurse to apply for a work visa in Alberta, Canada, primarily depends on the specific type of work permit or visa being applied for. Here are the relevant fees:

1. Work Permit Fee: The standard fee for a work permit application is CAD 155 (approximately €105).

2. Biometrics Fee: Most applicants are required to provide biometrics (fingerprints and a photo), which costs an additional CAD 85 (approximately €57).

3. Employer Compliance Fee: If the nurse is applying under a program where the employer needs to submit an offer of employment, the employer must pay a compliance fee of CAD 230 (approximately €156). However, this is usually covered by the employer, not the applicant.

4. Medical Exam: Nurses may also need to undergo a medical examination, which can cost between CAD 200-400 (approximately €135-270), depending on the country and clinic.

5. Police Certificates: Some applicants may need to provide police certificates from countries where they have lived for a certain period, which can vary in cost depending on the country.

In total, the minimum cost for a nurse applying for a work visa, including the work permit and biometrics, would be around CAD 240 (approximately €160), not including additional costs like the medical exam or police certificates.

These fees are subject to change, so it's always a good idea to check the official Canadian government website or consult with an immigration consultant for the most up-to-date information.
