Hello,
I am currently studying bsn program in one of the Canadian provinces. My question is : can I pass my nclex in province different from one I complete my program?
Thank you

Are you planning on relocating to another province? If so, you can write the NCLEX in a province different from the one you were educated in, but you must apply to be registered in the province of your education and the province you are relocating to.
Thank you!

I recently did exactly this so I'm sure it will be possible for you as well! I had to submit an application with the licening body of the province I wanted to write it with. Then, I had to have my university submit a confirmation of program completion form to the college when I was done the program.
It's also worth noting that no matter which province you sign up to take the NCLEX with, you can write it anywhere in Canada. When you get your Authorization to Test (ATT) from Pearson, you are able to schedule your exam wherever and whenever you like. The results will go to whichever province you got your ATT from. But if you know that you want to register and work in the province you did NOT study in, best go through that licensing body to get your ATT (in my opinion)
