How to become a nurse in Ontario, Canada

How to become a nurse in Ontario, Canada?
I'm just a newly graduated nurse in the Philippines when we move to Ontario, Canada. I wasn't able to take the board examination for nurses in the Philippines. They say I need to go CNO (College of Nursing in Ontario) to be assessed. Then after that I still need to go to college? Is that true? Can somebody please give me the details? Please and thank you!

You will need to apply to the CNO to have your education and experience assessed by them. If you meet their requriements you will be granted eligibilty to write the CRNE which is the nursing exam for Canada.If you do not meet their requirements you will have to further your education. They currently require that RNs have their BSN (4 year degree) for licensire as an RN. They may also require that you have your local license before you can apply for one in Ontario. Go to cno.org for more information.

There are different requirements depending on where you are in. I think if you already have enough experience and skill, and passed all the state exams, you do not have to study anymore to get the job.
