I wanted to know if i got my RN associates in the states, can i get my bachelors in canada (toronto, ottawa or Montreal)? The reason is i would lke to live in canada in the near future and would like to minimize as much problem as i can with the nursing process...

If you are a US citizen you would have to get a student visa and pay international student fees which would make it expensive for you. You may want to compare the cost against the cost of getting your BSN in the US.Also being on a student visa would heavily restrict how many hours you could work if you wanted to work part time while in school.After school you would have to go back to the US and apply for immigration or a work visa from there.

Thank you loriangel14.. This advise is very helpful... i didn't take into the fact that it would be more expensive for me that way.

Can any one else comment or have more information on this???

If not PR and a resident of the province fees are usually more expensive than being a resident of the province for an x amount of time.

You may find it cheaper to get BSN where you are now, gain some experience and then look for work and ways to live in Canada
