Can I Work as a Registered Nurse in Canada?
by: Sharon - Expats Guide

Hi Sansara

Thanks for your inquiry. Please note that I am not an immigration officer.

Nursing is considered a regulated occupation in Canada. This means that in order to work as a registered nurse in Canada you usually need to - Take a university or college program, complete practical experience under the supervision of licensed workers in occupation, pass examinations, and have Canadian work experience before you get your license.

Credential assessment in a regulated occupation is usually completed by a regulatory body.

The regulatory body for nursing in each province and territory handles the assessment of qualifications for internationally educated nurses and the scheduling of nurses to write the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination.

Information for foreign trained registered nurses who would like to work in Canada can be found in here.

Best of Luck
Sharon
