Default 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.
