FSW list is closed at the moment so only option really is TWP to which employer has to provide you with a LMO and a medical will be required. Finding a employer may be hard but will depend on province and generally you will need approval for sitting and passing CRNE if not already done so. I haven't seen any school based BSN courses, the ones I have seen have been distant learning and whether they accept external credits well only way really would be to ask them

FSW = Federal Skilled Worker

TWP = Temp Work Permit

A lot will depend on how you are planning on living and working in Canada FSW will lead to Permanent residency and TWP is just temporary
