Is it legal to practice nursing without a licence in the African country you were working in?

If it is legal, can the nursing regulating body verify this?

Do you have a valid reason for not obtaining a licence?

If yes, write a letter to CNO explaining the reasons you did not become licensed and have the regulating body provide verification.

Otherwise, if you were practising nursing illegally in Africa, do not even consider trying to become a nurse in Canada without re-education.
