To practice nursing in Canada, internationally educated nurses (IENs) must work with provincial nursing regulators. Though rewarding, this journey involves complex steps that may feel daunting. That's why we created the Post-Graduate Diploma in Canadian Nursing - to simplify the process and equip you with essential competencies. Our program acknowledges IENs' prior qualifications while addressing transition challenges, providing the necessary training for safe, ethical patient care in Canada. To accelerate entry into the healthcare system, the initial 19-week phase qualifies you to work as a Health Care Assistant. A paid 10-week co-op placement then gives you valuable Canadian work experience.
