Language requirements for practicing in Ottawa

Published

Hello.  I have began to take my first steps into wanting to become a nurse and I am looking at options for where I would like to study for it, as well as where to work during and post education. 
I would like to go to Ottawa and study and work there, as I have family there. However, I don't know if there are any language requirements for working as a nurse in Ottawa. I know Ottawa is a very bilingual city, and I do not speak any French, only English. Will this hurt my chances of getting hired? Are they only looking for nurses who are bilingual? If you are a nurse and working in Ottawa, please let me know if this was a mandatory requirements for becoming a nurse.
 

Thank you so much and have a great day.
