NNAS Application
Canada remains a top choice for nurses exploring global healthcare careers. Its strong economy and well-regarded healthcare system make it a clear choice for internationally educated nurses. However, becoming a licensed nurse in Canada requires a thorough credential assessment through the National Nursing Assessment Service (NNAS) first.
The NNAS assessment provides a standardized process for IENs to demonstrate their qualifications and readiness to practice nursing in Canada. Moreover, the evaluation ensures that IENs have the essential clinical knowledge, skills, and language proficiency. This is necessary for delivering safe, high-quality care within the Canadian healthcare system.
How to Apply for NNAS?
The NNAS plays a pivotal role as the centralized authority tasked with evaluating the nursing credentials of internationally educated nurses (IENs). Its assessment process ensures that IENs meet Canada’s rigorous standards for safe nursing practice.
Here’s how to start applying for the National Nursing Assessment Service.
Decide which Territory to Apply
Before starting the NNAS application, applicants must decide which territory to apply for. That is because each province has its own assessment criteria.
Document Submission and Assessment
NNAS reviews and verifies the submitted documents. This also involves contacting the issuing institutions to confirm the authenticity of the documents. This step typically takes several weeks to a few months, depending on how promptly the institutions respond to NNAS requests for verification.
NNAS Advisory Report
Once all documents are verified, NNAS prepares an Advisory Report that assesses your nursing education and credentials against Canadian standards.
Application to Regulatory Body
Once you have the Advisory Report, apply to the nursing regulatory body in your desired Canadian province or territory for practice. Each regulatory body has its additional requirements and processes.
