A friend of mine would love to come to Canada and work as a nurse; She has RN Diploma from one West Africa country. Could anybody tell me how to go about it. The steps for her to take inorder for her to be licensed and practice in canada. I'll appreciate all sugestions that could be of help. Thanks so much for your response in advance.

Re: Migrating and working in Canada

Almost every province there now requires the BSN, so that means that the Diploma will not be accepted as they are normally two or three years of training. They are requiring the four year program.

Each province has their own licensure, just like each state in the US. You will need to contact the specific province to see their requirements. Much has already been written on this topic, please just do a search.
