Hi SeekingNur,
I am a Canadian but became an NP while living in the US. Now am back in Canada, in Ontario. If you are looking to move to BC I do know a little bit as I helped their college of nurses review the new standards for NP's. NP's in BC are very new, they just graduated their first class last year! Their scope of practice is quite broad (compared to Ontario) and they are currently using the ANCC certification process so if you are going to get your NP training in the US you should go ahead and get your certification before coming up here. If you are thinking of moving to Ontario, the only US program that Ontario will recognize is the FNP and you would have to write Ontario's 'RN(EC)' (RN in the Extended Class) exam.
Your best bet for more info is to contact the BC college of nurses for exact information. I'm not sure but they may also only accept certain American specialties such as FNP, ANP and PNP.
Good luck!
