Yes and even passing requirements for one state will not guarantee another state will accept them

The exam is the same for both countries and I would only recommend going through the process for Canada if you are planning working in Canada because the process is expensive especially if you trained outside the country

Then you need to apply to the state and meet requirements before sitting NCLEX. You will once given eligibility to sit NCLEX sit it in a centre in Canada that provides the exam and results will go to the state.
