According to Nova Scotia College of Nursing (NSCN), they will implement a new ‘first in Canada’ approach to registration and licensure that will establish a fast and predictable pathway.

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.

The changes take effect on:

March 29, 2023 for qualifying registered nurses holding current licensure in any Canadian province or territory; and

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.

This update is sill work in progress and we will be making subsequent videos as NSCN release further information in this regards.
