Apr 4, 2011 Moved to the International forumMost provinces require a BSN now plus Canada is so big and you can not base your move on which province will accept you as things do differ from one side of the country to the other and you may not want certain aspect of that area because you are looking for something else. You need to choose a province that meets your expectations and then look at the link to the provincial college of RN's and see what their requirements are. a list of the colleges can be found near the top in the Canadian forum
