Moved to the International forum as per the red banner

A lot of requirements will depend on what experience you have and what province you apply to

In Ontario, it is up to the CNO to determine whether or not you need bridging. If you have not already done so, suggest you pick which province you want to live in and start looking at the application requirements on the provincial colleges nursing website. The links to the websites are located in the top section of the Canadian nurses forum.

Only they can make a determination once they receive your transcripts and application.

thats World Education Service--a credential asssessment service

WES verifies documents for authenticity and adheres to the standards used in North America and Canada for the submission of academic records.

The WES stores and delivers verified transcripts with a WES evaluation report to professional licensing bodies.

Not sure as each province will make their own assessment depending on what you have submitted to them

golu,

If an agency is tellling you they can make your CNO assessment results more favourable they are misleading you. If you can understand and adhere to written instructions, then you are capable of completing the CNO application independently.
