Unlike many other countries the registration of
nurses does not occur at the national level. In
order to practice nursing you must be licensed or
registered in the province or territory in which you
will work.
Different Licensing or registering bodies have
different procedures. However all bodies require:
- Credential Verification
- A pass in Canadian Registered Nurse
Examination
- Language Proficiency
All Canadian provinces and territories except
Quebec require that candidates write the Canadian
Nurses Association Registration or Licensure
Examination as part of the registration or licensure
process.
Each case is assessed on individual basis. There
are three possible outcomes:
- The applicant is not eligible
- The applicant will be eligible if additional
requirements are satisfied
- The applicant is eligible
If your assessment letter states that you will be
eligible if you satisfy additional requirements, you
need to contact the Nursing Association after
fulfilling the requirements.
If you are eligible, you can obtain temporary
permit to practice. However, within a certain period
of time, you need to apply and appear for Canadian
Registered Nurse Examination.
After passing Canadian Registered Nurse
Examination, you can obtain full registration.
