she must write the exam in Canada - she needs to go to canada as a visitor so she can write the exam and she must say nothing about this ti the border people. if she has already been refused entry then she has blown her chances. http://www.cna-aiic.ca/CNA/nursing/becoming/international/default_e.aspx Where can I obtain information about becoming licensed to practise nursing in Canada? Unlike many other countries the registration of nurses does not occur at the national level. In order to practise nursing you must be licensed or registered in the province or territory in which you will work. Licensing or registering bodies can also provide information about employment opportunities. They may have a referral service or be able to direct you to appropriate journals to find advertised positions or employer contacts. Will I need to write an examination to become licensed to practise in Canada? Canadian provinces and territories, with the exception of Québec, require that you write the Canadian Registered Nurses Examination as part of the registration or licensure process. At present, this examination can only be written in Canada on the recommendation of a provincial or territorial nurses association. The Canadian Nurses Association publishes The Canadian RN Exam Prep Guide, which you will find useful in preparing for the exam. Québec nurses have their own exam.

Sam D, you don't need any Canadian licenses to immigrate to Canada. But if you want to practice nursing or accounting, or any other profession that require a Canadian license, you would have to get it here when you officially immigrate here. All you need is atleast one year in your profession in your home country.

Nursing licensing is a provincial issue so she needs to contact the college of nurses(licensing body) in the province that she wants to practice in. They will asses her education and give her permission to write the CPRNE (if her education is deemed the equivalent of ours) which is the national licensing exam. She will have to get a visa to come over and write the exam and return home after she has written it. Once she passes the exam and finds an employer she could apply for a working visa to come here and work. The whole process takes lots of time and money and most provinces are now requiring RNs to have a degree for licensure.
