Expedited Nursing Licensing in Nova Scotia for Nurses in Nigeria


admin

Recommended Posts

Over the coming weeks, NSCN will implement a new ‘first in Canada’ approach to registration and licensure that will establish a fast and predictable pathway to licensure in Nova Scotia. 

Registered nurses who demonstrate good standing and good character and are currently licensed in the Philippines, India, Nigeria, USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand or a Canadian Province or Territory are eligible for registration and licensure in Nova Scotia immediately with no additional requirements other than passing the registration exam, if not already done so.

  • May 1, 2023, for qualifying registered nurses holding current licensure in Philippines, India, Nigeria, USA, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Nurses licensed in these jurisdictions will be able to apply directly to NSCN for RN licensure without applying to NNAS.    

Eligibility Criteria

  • Have current licensure in good standing with one of the designated jurisdictions listed above.
    • Current licensure means you hold an equivalent practicing license elsewhere in Canada or in the seven identified countries.
    • Good Standing means you are not subject to any outstanding complaints with your current regulator; and there are no prohibitions, conditions, agreements or restrictions on your licence or registration with your current regulator that would prevent registration.
