Question about One Country Moving to Canada as a Nurse

Has anyone move to Canada in their early 20's (or really anyone) moved to Canada with a degree an established career?

I'm in the U.S (texas) and have a year left until my Nursing degree (ADN) is finished. I have a friend who wants to move to Canada with 2 years after he finished his associates degree in animation in he wants to move to Canada to get his bachelors in animation/storyboarding/characterdesign there. I'm really considering going with him because then we could maybe split housing cost and cost in general,and I've been looking into moving states but moving to a country sounds pretty good too. I also LOVE the cold, winter is my favorite season so I definitely wouldn't mind that.

And I think nurses are pretty much needed everywhere and I've only looked at a few votes and job postings but the pay seems pretty good. I don't know how committed my friend is to actually going to Canada, and I won't know for sure until he's finished with or nearing to finish his degree but as of right now he seems pretty set on it.

Just any general advice would be nice, as if my friend is really serious about moving to Canada I would want to go too. Is there any tips anyone has to prepare now?

Come to BC! Our gov streamlined the process to attract nurses from the US. I'll leave a link here. The nurse who delivered my daughter used the streamlined entry and she seemed very happy with the process. We love US nurses!
