Getting licenced in BC

[Voni4real]

Hi All

I am a Permanent Resident presently in PEI. I got my NNAS report saying somewhat comparable,but didn't include BC in my application.

I am considering moving to BC,what are the steps i need in getting a license to practice as an RN or LPN. What is the length of time?

Anyone with an idea please?

Thank you

Hi ZaRn

I had a degree in Nursing from Nigeria.

I did submitted my transcript and course description from my School of Nursing, Midwifery and university.

Hi ZaRn.

I submitted my transcript and course description from my School of nursing, midwifery and university.

I got the form for my employer to fill out also

The entire process took 1 year.

Hello Voni4real

Thanks for your prompt response. I was considering removing my Midwifery program from the assessment. I sent a mail to Nnas to waive the information I filled for it

I am applying for rn and lpn. Please did you submit 2 separate sets of forms for the rn and lpn applications? The forms are similar with the application number being the difference,hence my confusion.

[Voni4real, LPN, RN]

Same form dear.

Same document will cover for the both. .

I will advise you add your midwifery.

Where are you at?

[ZaRn]

In Nigeria. Thanks a lot. I will go ahead to try and cancel the waiver. I will also leave off sending the second set of forms.

You cannot become a RN in Canada unless you are a citizen or permanent resident.

You cannot become a RN in Canada unless you are a citizen or permanent resident.

I beg to disagree. I have never set foot in Canada yet I obtained my RN license in 2014.
