Does Canada (BC) recognize Online RN to BSN Program from US School?

I already have a ADN from a US school. I am planning to enroll in a Online RN to BSN program in a US school (probably Jacksonville University, Chamberlain or University of Phoenix) as soon as I pass the NCLEX and get a US RN License. Will Canada regognize these online degrees? I will soon get my Canadian immigrant visa and Im thinking of taking the online courses from Canada while I am trying to complete my 3 year Canadian residency requirment.

Also, another questions is: Will Canadian hospitals require work experience when I apply for work in Canada after I finish my RN to BSN program?

I the university is fully accredited then it probably would, however before starting the program check with the college of Nurses in BC to make sure they do!

I had several students in my class from British Columbia, when I was getting my masters at University of Phoenix.

University of Phoenix is accepted by all of the provinces in Canada. For the others, you will need to check directly with the province.
