Licensing and Registration
NNAS Credential Assessment
Internationally educated nurses must have their credentials assessed by the National Nursing Assessment Service (NNAS) before applying to a provincial or territorial nursing regulator. NNAS evaluates your education, registration/licensure, and language proficiency to determine how your qualifications compare to Canadian standards. This is the first step toward nursing registration in Canada.
Provincial/Territorial Nursing Registration
Nursing is a regulated profession in all Canadian provinces and territories. After your NNAS assessment, you must register with the nursing regulatory body in the province or territory where you intend to practise (e.g., CNO in Ontario, BCCNM in British Columbia, OIIQ in Quebec). Requirements vary by jurisdiction and may include additional exams such as the NCLEX-RN (for Registered Nurses) or the REx-PN (for Licensed/Registered Practical Nurses), supervised practice, and language proficiency verification.

PASS Program (Professional Access and Success for Nurses)
The PASS (Professional Access and Success) program is a bridging initiative designed to help internationally educated nurses (IENs) already in Canada transition into the Canadian healthcare system. PASS provides supports such as exam preparation, clinical placement assistance, mentorship, and guidance through the licensing process to help IENs meet Canadian nursing registration requirements.
The program may be offered at no cost to eligible participants, depending on funding and location. Eligibility criteria, available locations, and services may vary — visit the official PASS website for the most current information.
