Psychiatric NPs in Canada?

World Canada

Updated:   Published

I'm an American nurse in a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) program, and I'll graduate in a year. My husband is Canadian, and we're interested in possibly moving back to Canada one day. However, right now to the best of my understanding Canada does not have any PMHNPs, only family NPs and a few other kinds. Does anyone know if Canada may be moving towards recognizing PMHNPs in the near future? Or would this be a province-by-province thing? He is from Ontario so that is where we would be moving. Thanks for any and all insight into the subject.

Specializes in PMHNP.

@eliskathenurse are you able to move out of the US? am trying to move to canada as a PMHNP as well
