Immigrating to Canada as an LPN in the US

Published

Specializes in LPN.

Hello! So I have an LPN DIPLOMA from a 2-year college in the US (not a university), and I've been working as an LPN for about a year now. I wanted to know if I needed a 4-year bachelor's degree in order to be an LPN in Canada. I've been searching online and some are saying you only need a diploma from an accredited college and some are saying you need a bachelor's degree. I'm just confused because I thought that having a Bachelor's degree in nursing was for RNs and not LPNs. Unless Canada's LPN requirements are much higher than the US. Thank you!

I am also a LPN/LVN and I've also been looking at immigrating to Canada. I have a BA in Psych but not sure if that will help.

Hey there, did you ever find out how to see if your US LPN credentials (NCLEX PN) can transfer to LPN credentials in Canada (Rex PN)

Hi, trying to see if there was an update to this? I just got my US LVN from CA and seeing if it'll transfer to Canada for any province
