They need to go through a certification process before they can work as a nurse in Canada.

The first step is to get your equivalence report from NNAS.

CNO is really very slow in their process. You can either take OSCE(IENCAP) or complete the courses based on the report CNO provides. If you have already completed NCLEX-RN exams for any US registration body, CNO accepts it as comparable qualification for entry level practice

Has anybody ever got comparable from NNAS? My wife is an experienced RN in the UK with a degree from one of the top UK nursing schools and got non-comparable. CNO advised the courses that she needed to complete and all of which were covered in her UK degree. So she has to do 5 courses at circa $1k each in subjects she has already covered to be deemed worthy of working in Canada.

She is doing some non-nursing work at the hospital where she has a job offer and they send nurses to the UK to improve their skills!!!

Go figure & we are drastically short of nurses in Ontario!!

based on what i read recent graduate 2012 and above often times got a comparable report.. since their course syllabus from the university they graduated are latest and up to date… I graduated nursing 2005, got non comparable NNAS report… i challenged the CNO by taking IENCAP exam here in canada, and luckily passed. I’m Currently working now full time at a hospital here in Ottawa.

my wife graduated in 2012 and had 8 years experience. Also they said that she was eligible to do the IENCAP test without these "top up courses"
