Can anyone give me some info on how hard it is to change a nursing license from the US to Canada??

We are considering moving there!!

TIA!

details I do not know,

but would think that it best for you to contact

the provincial nursing licensing organization of the province

where you are going to be working

for eg. if you are going to go to Ontario, then contact

the College of Nurse of Ontario

Specializes in Foot Care.

You would have to contact the College of Nurses in the province where you plan to practice to get the particulars.

The Canadian Nurses Association has a webpage listing all the provincial licensing organizations and their respective contact information:

And here is some information about what you need to do in order to transfer your credentials:

Good luck!
