Of course not! Canada is a country with it's own government separate from the US. Not only will they have their own regulations regarding the registration and licensure of nurses, they will also impose their own rules on immigration of foreign nationals. However, similar to the US, they have a system where the provinces (analogous to the states in the US) have their own boards of nursing.

You would need to apply for licensure in the province in which you wanted to work. They would evaluate your education and decide if you are eligible to write the CRNE. Most of the provinces require BSN for licensure as an RN.You would also have to look into the process for working here legally.

As mentioned by previous poster, Canada is another country and you will have to meet their requirements as per each province college of RN's in the same way a Canadian nurse has to meet the US state requirements if they want to work in the US

Well it's not quite as silly as it sounds - some neighbouring countries have reciprocal agreements.. eg. Aussie RNs can work in NZ and vice versa.

Can Australians also travel freely to New Zealand with out a passport? I'm curious because I've heard that some countries are also like that.

Regarding the recipricity between Australia and New Zealand, is that for citizens of those two countries or can say someone from the US go to Australia and get a license and be able to use that license in New Zealand, or will the US grad still have to meet New Zealands requirements?

There is no reciprocal agreement between Canada and the US.
