It doesnt matter to practice as nurse in canada you have to get your qualification accredited. You will complete these forms and fee is 226 for RPN and approx 600 for RGN. After they assess your qualification is when you will know if you can practice without doing an exam or you will need to sit for papers. So best to start applying for that different provinces varry. Good luck with your vis.

Nursing is regulated at the provincial level in Canada. You have to become licensed in the province. Regulations will vary by province. For Ontario, start here:
